WebGL

Is it/would it be possible to save a TR in the WebGL format so that it could be viewed in a web browser in full 3D?

We sold a plugin to render to texture - this essentially turned your entire 3D model into a Twilight Rendering. Then you would need a plugin for SU that will export that model to WebGL or whatever format you want to view you SU model.

Interesting :)

There are 2 current possibilities that I have seen. There is a 2016 plugin that will convert a SU model to WebGL and recently some one posted a thread that will convert the SU file to WebGL (both of these are on SketchUcation).

I was hinting that if you guys find a way to keep TR going, you might consider this as an additional feature. I really like the results users have with TR and think it would really be neat if you could view the rendered results in a “real”/“live”/“interactive” format/environment.

I guess, I am trying to push/encourage you to go in a “Twinmotion” direction. :-)
