Import 3d shapes into articulate storyline 360?
I can add another use case here. I work for the American Red Cross creating training for the staff who set up computer-related equipment at disaster response sites. Traditionally we've done a 2-1/2 day in-person training every year where attendees get experience setting up and taking down many types of equipment -- from hand-held radios, cell phones, and laptops to multi-user printers, network servers, and satellite dish receivers.
This year we are looking into how to create some type of virtual substitute and I've been exploring how we might be able to develop and use 3D models of some of the equipment. Ideally I'd like to have a screen where the viewer could rotate the model and click on different point to learn about the various ports and other parts of the equipment. And I would do something similar as a quiz or exercise, too, where the viewer would have to identify where a certain cable should be plugged in, etc.
I saw another article that mentioned using a slider to rotate objects and that seems worth exploring for now. And that would not require a continuous, smooth animated turn. We could just take a series of photos from different angles and have the course viewers use a slider to turn an object in different directions.
