Put 3D models in ppts - Great presentations!

Found a way to put 3D models into presentations. Found it long ago actually, sharing now. Might help someone, who knows.

But it does make presentations attractive!

http://www.esnips.com/web/3Dmodelsinpptpdf .....examples here

Requirements:

1.A 3D modeling software (UG, ProE, CATIA etc) or Google SketchUp.
2.Deep View (Software to embed 3D models by Right Hemisphere)
3.Microsoft Office

You are done!

As soon as you install Deep View (http://www.righthemisphere.com/products/client-products/deep-view), it will go in as a plugin into Microsoft Office Powerpoint(It will appear as 'Deep View' in the main menu on top). This plugin will allow you to embed 3D models into your presentations.

You can insert models of the file extension .rh only.

For this, you have to open your 3D model using the Deep View application and then save it as a .rh file. Check out the file formats which Deep View supports – http://www.righthemisphere.com/_base/static/img/products/callouts/91_deep-view-6.0-supported-file-formats.pdf . You can generally go through the site, http://www.righthemisphere.com

The computer in which this file is present should atleast have Deep View Minimum installed, for the 3D model to work.

I presume you can publish a pdf also using the Deep View Menu in a ppt.

In pdf's you can insert 3D models directly but you'll need Adobe Professional. This feature is there since Adobe Professional 7. But I don't remember about the 3D file formats Adobe Pro accepts.
