I am able to view most, but not all on my Macintosh G5. How about you?

not G5 seems to work on my G4

What web browser is each of you using? Could what you see or do not see be a browser issue?

I can see the models in Safari as long as I don't change to another tab which forces the window to refresh and restart the viewer.

The content is easy to view with my Windows 2000 machine running IE. The Mac falls short when using Safari, anyone using IE on a Mac?


Wait a minute, a reboot on the G5 fixed everything. Working fine now, must have been lacking some Java runtime app.

A test of the UZR export from Cinema4D r9.

This one works fine with Safari...
what's the UZR export?

I don't have much documentation about it, sorry. It is one of the supported file exports from C4D.

See: http://www.maxon.net/index_e.html click Architecture

I will look for more information on how to control, light, textures and cameras.

I was using Safari. Tabbing was ok too

Here is something I really enjoy seeing. Try out the WIREFUSION free demo, works for 30 days.

After just 15 minutes with the program I was able to import my ArchiCAD model, it will be just a matter of time and patience before I learn how to set up a scene in the program and export the results for all to see. Who knows I might not even look at a manual. My favorite programs are the ones that allow you to have success within 1 hr. without reading a manual.

Method that worked best so far was to export as 3ds from ArchiCAD and then import into Cinema4D and then export as VRML2. Going straight from ArchiCAD to VRML resulted in a 24MB file that did not work. The VRML export from C4D was only 8MB. WIREFUSION can reduce the size of the model way, way down. Like I said I will post all the facts as soon as I figure them out, but so far I really like what I see in the WIREFUSION program.

The Archicad model shown gives these stats when exported to WIREFUSION format for the web:

Very impressive, seems that real time architectural models can be shared on the web.
