Hi, is it possible to insert 3D Models and having the leanrers to rotate it with their own mouse? If not yet, when will this be available? I find this very useful and have seen it at the Learntec.

For the weekly challenge #446 I created this: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/94db2865-b623-4893-8654-f00a7e10abeb/review It shows the way how to move and turn a 3D object (glb file created in tinkercad.com and enhanced with model-viewer.com) with mouse, mouse buttons and mouse wheel. All material, source code and files are ready prepared for download on the last slide. Feel free to use it and share your opinion about it. Happy to hear from you soon.

Hello HellermannTyton ACADEMY, Thanks so much for your interest. We do not have any updates at this time. We'll be sure to update this forum thread with any news! Have a great day and happy developing!

Hi Pierre, Your hack for approximating an interactive 3D model by changing the states with a slider is absolutely brilliant! I wish the modelling feature was native to Articulate, but in the meantime this will do nicely. That's what I love about the community: we're the ones who make learning work. Thanks! --Kevin

'We're confident this feature will be in your hands by the end of the year.' That was 4 years ago, and still nothing....

Hi, everyone! While we don't support 3D models yet, I wanted to share that the feature my colleague Katie mentioned a few months ago has just been released! In Update 54, we’ve included this feature: Create immersive learning experiences with 360° images. Add interactive elements, such as hotspots and markers, to engage learners as they explore. 360° images are currently in public beta for Storyline 360, which means you can use them for production as we continue to enhance them. To take advantage of this feature, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here. Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.

Hi Lauren,

Just added the storyline file in the attachment.

Below you allso have a link to the review where you can see that everything just works fine. In the review it is possible to turn the 3D model by clicking and to zoom the 3D model by scrolling.

WHen you publish this storyline file to LSM you will see it does not work anymore, moving/turing en zoom does not work.

I hope someone knows the sollution.

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for sharing your file! I see it works as expected in Review 360, great news!

I went ahead and tested your course in SCORM Cloud, and it is behaving as expected on my end.

I recommend contacting your LMS provider to see if there is a setting or workaround that can be adjusted once your course is uploaded to the LMS since it seems isolated to that environment where the 3D model is not behaving as expected.

Let us know if any other questions come up!

  Hi Luciana,
  
  Thanks for testing. I just tested it in another LMS and everything seems to work just fine. So yes there must be an issue with my LMS system.
  
  Thanks a lot for your help!!

Thanks so much for sharing an update with us, Glenn! It's good to know that the issue seems to be isolated to that one LMS system and is working as expected in the other LMS you tested!

If any other questions come up, feel free to reach out!

Have a wonderful weekend!

  Thanks for voting for 3D object support in Storyline 360! I've informed our product team of your need.
  
  In the meantime, if you have additional comments regarding your use case, please feel free to share them. I'd be happy to add them to the feature report.

I can help you with that!

Articulate Storyline itself doesn't currently support inserting and directly interacting with 3D models. However, there are a couple of workarounds you can try:

Embed a Web Object:

* Find a website that allows you to publish 3D models with interactivity, like BioDigital Human.
* Publish your model and copy the link.
* In Storyline, insert a Web Object and paste the link.
* Learners will be able to view and interact with the 3D model through the website within your Storyline course.

Use Images from a 3D Model:

* This method involves creating multiple screenshots of the 3D model from different angles.
* You can use PowerPoint's 3D model insertion feature (if you have Office 365) to achieve this.
* Import these screenshots into Storyline as separate image states for a picture.
* With triggers, you can simulate a rotating effect when learners click and drag on the image.

While these are workarounds, they can still add some level of engagement with 3D content in your eLearning courses.

As for future support for native 3D models in Storyline, there is no official announcement from Articulate. You can stay updated by checking their community forums or contacting their support team.

Adding my vote for 3D object support. This would be a fantastic feature to add. Here's hoping it pops up on the roadmap soon.
