A leading company in system integration witnessed a great boost in user interactions with our web-compatible 3D analyzer shelter model.
Our client is a prominent leader in the energy sector backed by over 30 years of experience. They specialize in delivering exploration, development, and production services alongside turnkey solutions tailored for companies in the oil, gas, petroleum, chemical, and energy industries.
The client's advanced analyzer shelter, designed for precise sampling of petroleum and natural gas, required effective presentation to potential clients at events and on their website. The goal was to provide an immersive, detailed view highlighting its unique features and functions.
Several presentation options were considered, including VR headsets, traditional 3D models, and AR showcases, each posing specific challenges:
Since the client wanted an engaging solution, we proposed a web-compatible 3D model with AR features and text annotations. This strategy sought to provide an interactive and detailed presentation accessible via web browsers on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. However, the proposal raised several challenges:
The process commenced by generating intricate 3D models of the analyzer shelter. We utilized reference images from the client, captured using DSLR and iPhone cameras, to ensure precise representation.
We used 3D Max and Blender to model the analyzer shelter painstakingly, capturing its intricate details. In Blender, the texturing and shading process involved applying real-world images provided by the client, enhancing the models' realism.
We converted the 3D models into GLB (GL Transmission Format) format to ensure they were compatible with the web. GLB is tailored for 3D scenes and models, enabling easy loading by web browsers. This format supports efficient transmission and loading of 3D content, making it ideal for web applications. Moreover, using the GLB format allowed us to compress the 3D model significantly, reducing the file size from 600 MB to 13 MB.
Our team of web developers researched and modified a Three.JS library to create a 3D model viewer for displaying the models in web browsers. This viewer was optimized to run at 60 frames per second (fps), ensuring a smooth and responsive experience across various devices, including older Android and iPhone models.
Our 3D product modeling services not only met but exceeded the client's expectations, overcoming initial challenges and yielding significant outcomes.
