    Displaying Models Online/ Personal Website

    I'm currently looking for a good way to display my models on my personal website, and so after digging through CodeCanyon for a bit, I found some interesting (paid) scripts that I thought I'd share.

    Model Display Scripts:
    http://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress...ushkarparanjpe
    http://codecanyon.net/item/stl3d-vie...ushkarparanjpe

    Both seem to be by the same creator, but interestingly enough the $8 version seems to have greater functionality...

    If you have a 3D printing service, here is a Volume Calculator:
    http://codecanyon.net/item/stl-volum...ushkarparanjpe

    If anyone has suggestions for others (preferably free), I'd love to know.

    PS: Found these guys: http://p3d.in/ and https://sketchfab.com/
    ...Others would be nice though. I prefer to have a script running on my site, than loading from somewhere else.

    Makerware - The free rendering program from Makerbot Ind. now has a function that will tell you how many grams of plastic your print will use with the print settings you give it.
    Netfabb - A free, open source program for rendering has a function that tells you the volume of an object.

    To get the cost of material per gram:

    Take the price of a 1Kg spool of filament and divide it by 1,000. That is the price per gram of the material.

    Thanks for the suggestions, and I personally use NetFabb Pro, however this is off-topic. I'm looking for scripts/web-specific viewers for displaying models online (as shown in my examples above). Not applications.

    Thanks for the link. Yeah, I think the best I have found so far (and maybe it's just due to the qulaity of models on their site), but http://verold.com/ is pretty good.
    The other issue I'm having is that I would kind of like to retain control of the model by hosting it myself. I already purchased "canvasio3D"- the WebGL-3D plugin for WordPress from virtuellwerk.d It works alright, but I'm having issues displaying .Objs. Right now it will only show .Stls. Weird.

    Relevant because you're suggesting something that you have to pay for when there are other methods out there that are free.

    It wasn't a slight. It was merely re-requesting that it pertain "specifically" to web-use.
