Looking at WebGL at the moment and being amazed at the potential this has for delivering [presumably] small datasets to others.

 

Right now i don't see any Creo/Parametric or View or Illustrate or Schematics to WebGL or public library for this.

 

I want to publish Creo Parametric MBD PMI (for free) to webGL compatible HTML code so the viewing of our Creo content can work in all modern browsers across all devices and operating systems.

 

I want to publish Creo Illustrate Processes and Animations (for free) to webGL compatible HTML code so the viewing of our Creo content can work in all modern browsers across all devices and operating systems. In this scenario it would be advantageous to have a 'level of detail' reducer for the heavy components to make interaction quicker.

This sounds very similar to what PTC is doing in their new Windchill Access Apps.  Instead of having to install Creo View, they are using (I believe) WebGL to provide Creo View functionality natively in the browser (on a tablet).  No software installation is required.

Currently playing with saving obj files and using them in the open-source three.js API to render to a web viewer. I currently think it may be possible to export both an obj and a step including PMI and then write an extract step to pull the PMI entities from the step file.

We will be glad to do a custom plugin developed for Html/WebGL exporter for Creo. We have developed couple of Html/WebGL plugins for other platforms like Inventor, Solidworks, Revit, Max , Maya, and others. We have knowledge of Creo api's so this is very much possible. Please write back if interested.

Thanks, Shilpa
