Rhino3d

I searched on Rhino3d, and this group was returned as the most relevant, even though it is CAD.

I am trying out Rhino3D, and I am interested in knowing if other software suitable for 3d on the WWW is available.

I am selling taps, showers, and the like via the Web and I want to add more detail to images (eg 3d, 360 degree, rotation possiblity) since a lot of people ask about the products, ie infomation more easily obtained by seeing a fuller image.

I have only 2d images available.

My own investigations has shown a lot of in house Java software for VRML and 3D. Also I saw Adobe have 3d software.

Do you have any knowledge of proven use of 3D software which is available of the shelf, which could be 3d represent 2d images?

PartStream from SolidWorks has a very good 3D interface & multi-download translator. We use it for internal model sharing as well as a portal for external customers.

Rhino, Maya, Studio Tools are NURBS surface modellers, more conceptual in nature, less number driven. If you need a lot of fancy shapes, free form surfaces that can be easily shaped, these are best at this type of modelling, giving you smooth surfaces. These too export to other formats, including VRML.

I don't know of any way to directly model in VRML or of modellers based on this format. I'd be interested in hearing about anything along these lines that you find out.
