3D preview / turntable #1631

Is there any 3D preview function included?

The (anisotropic) reflections are best seen, if the light or the embrodery can be shown 3D on some kind of turntable.

Question:

Is there already any 3D function included?
Which would be the format & place in the software to add this kind of support?

There is something we call realistic preview, but that has nothing to do with an actual 3d preview. We just display the svg stitch plan with some svg filters applied to it in the simulator and the pdf print preview. The simulator uses the electron browser.

chatelao commented 2 years ago

In which part of the code could I find this?

kaalleen commented 2 years ago

The svg with filters? Have a look here: https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/blob/main/lib/svg/rendering.py and also here: https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/blob/main/electron/src/renderer/assets/js/simulator.js

If you have ideas to make the realistic view better, I'd love to see them! This was the best I could figure out but there's definitely room for improvement.
