New Site Feature: 3D Modelviewer Redone and Pandaren Added!

posted 2012/04/11 at 9:06 PM by Ashelia

a brand new Flash 3D model viewer

Flash Modelviewer Instead of JavaMake sure you have updated to the latest version of Flash; if your version is outdated, it may not load properly!

Debugging and support is a lot easier this way as we only have to focus on one platform

More people use and prefer Flash so it made sense to use it over Java

Significantly faster load timesImproved particle effects and detailsA new race option: Pandaren!

Pandaren are very much still in beta, so some emotes and armor may not work properly (helmets do not work on them right now, for example). They still look awesome, though!

Comment by regma nicely done plus i see the male worgen looks normal now.
those extra arms was a little creepy. lol Comment by CalaelenDT Actually, the object isn't moved at all - it's the camera (and its target point) that moves, constrained to the XY plane. Just saying >.>
Comment by TheDancingTree Those Gnome monk animations... xD Comment by jopamo Pretty nice update ;D I will try it Comment by Galneryus AWESOME job. It no longer looks buggy when you rotate and the image quality is by far better than the old one.
Here's a good example: http://www.wowhead.com/itemset=1074#modelviewer:1+0 Comment by DarthPostal Hmmm... Wowhead 3D viewer was the only thing I was using my Java runtimes for. Now I can uninstall them. =) Comment by umbralillium I don't know if this is happening for anyone else, but helmets are going through the models' heads. I've mainly been looking at the t-mog and armor sets, but I checked just the helmet and it's not working right there, either. It's fine on humans, since that's the default model, but it keeps the human shape on the other races. Comment by DonKillshot Top Notch WowHead! Comment by User632 Thanks guys. Three cheers for no more Java.
Really noticeable quality and performance improvements. Comment by gfysprez Flash over JAVA! - WOOHOO!

I NEVER used the java viewer (not even sure i have java on my laptop LOL)

Thanks so much! Comment by featheredhorse Love you, WoWhead team! <33333 Comment by lordlundar something of note: The hair and eyes for female Draenei are not loading. The female Blood Elves hair is having the same issue. Comment by hordewarrior2000 For some reason, when I go on Model Viewer, it won't let me change the race and gender, it only lets me go in full screen, and change the animation.
Help plz? Comment by Elosha The 3D model viewer has never been of any interest for me, because viewing the screenshots was much faster and also worked on mobile devices. On the desktop machine, there always were speed and stability problems typical for Flash/Java crap… but the new viewer just made it usable at all. Finally works like a charm! :) Comment by baradiel The 3D model viewer has never been of any interest for me, because viewing the screenshots was much faster and also worked on mobile devices.
