Question

Export to a format that can be navigated on desktop or on the web

Which export format is best for a cityscape created in Dimension, that can be navigated similar to Google Street view?

Is there any generic format for that purpose or I need to navigate my projects created in Dimension in Aero?

the only file type Dimension can export which is even close to a standard is the Dn file... and even Adobe doesn't trust that file which is why you can't share them here on this [Adobe owned Dimension] forum

 

a standard web file for 3D and 4D is web animation and thats basically just [Flash like] code that every browser except Microsoft Edge allows for simple animations... more complex displays have to be pre-rendored and treaded like a video

I made a sample model in Dimension:

3D models by Chris P. Bacon (@mdmadam) - Sketchfab

But only 2 things I can do: zoom it and rotate it.

I cannot navigate it.

Navigation is when you make 2 rows of houses and a road in between, and you are able to move along the road and look around in 360 degrees from every point.

So after I create that in Dimension, how do I render it so that I can walk on the road and look around?

In Adobe tools, it might be possible to render a walkthrough a model with After Effects, but if you want people to jump between different views of a house, there are other tools that might be easier.

Try this link, and when it settles down, click on the clapperboard on the right, then click on the three different scenes to see what happens:

To freely roam around a 3D scene you might need to get Unity or Unreal Engine involved. For simpler rendering of preset views, SketchUp (which is what I used) would do.

 

I should mention that I work for SketchUp. A Blender employee may have other suggestions!

 

BTW, the link does strange things in Safari, use Chrome.
