Due to recent feedback I decided to remove the html embedded 3Dpdf examples, because of browser compatibility problems. If you also get problems following a 3D pdf link, click the right mouse button on the link, then "save target as", and open the pdf document with Adobe Reader.
A proper working 3D acceleration is essential for viewing 3D pdf's (Direct 3D on windows, OpenGL on Linux and Mac), which means that not everyone can see 3D as the header of this blog says.
So if you have problems viewing 3D pdf's take the following steps:
- Make sure you have a 3D graphics card with more than 64mb video memory (more is better)
- Make sure the latest graphics card drivers are installed
- For Windows users: Make sure Direct 3D is working (go on Start --> Run --> enter dxdiag --> Display --> test Direct 3D)
get Directx here if it's not installed
- Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader installed
