Babylon Viewer 3D Wordpress Plugin - Version 0.3 Major Update

Thanks for your help!
One year after initial release I am glad to introduce the version 0.3 of

Babylon Viewer 3D Wordpress Plugin

Display 3D models and 3D scenes with the help of shortcode [babylon]URL-OF-3D-FILE[/babylon] to use the 3D Viewer in Wordpress posts and pages, Woocommerce products, Elementor blocks etc.

Supports GLTF, GLB, STL, OBJ+MTL and BABYLON files upload and demonstration.

Babylon Viewer 3D Wordpress Plugin automatically provides a default viewing experience for 3D models. All aspects of this experience are configurable. See Configuring Babylon.js Viewer for more information on customizing the viewing experience.

If you need more control, you may use <babylon></babylon> tag in any Wordpress HTML block and configure all needed parameters (light, camera position, camera behaviour, rotating etc).

Shortcode: [babylon]URL-OF-3D-FILE[/babylon]. Supports external URLs.

Installation and Usage

  1. Standard WordPress plugin installation: go to Plugins → Add New – upload .zip file.
    If you use older version of this plugin, first deactivate it and delete. Plugin doesn’t contain any user data.
  2. Activate the plugin.
  3. Upload 3D file in GLTF, GLB, STL, OBJ+MTL or BABYLON format. If you upload OBJ file, make sure to upload corresponding MTL file too.
    Or use external URL - link to the 3D file.
  4. Publish in WordPress posts and pages, Woocommerce products, Elementor blocks etc with the help of shortcode:
    [babylon]Url-Of-3D-File[/babylon]
    Make sure there are no spaces between URL and shortcode brackets[babylon]URL[/babylon].

  5. Another option is to publish 3D files with the standard WordPress HTML block and have more ways to configure Babylon Viewer. You may adjust all needed parameters (light, camera position, camera behaviour, rotating etc), create our own Viewer template, change logo and link at navigation bar etc.

Example

Just put it into standard Wordpress HTML Gutenberg block and publish (result is here - Cornell Box on White Background – Babylon.js 3D WordPress Plugin):

            <babylon extends="minimal">
              <!-- Ground that receives shadows -->
              <ground receive-shadows="true"></ground>
              <!-- Default skybox
             <skybox></skybox>
             -->
                     <model url="https://models.babylonjs.com/CornellBox/cornellBox.glb">
                    </model>
              <!-- enable antialiasing -->
              <engine antialiasing="true"></engine>
              <!-- camera configuration -->
              <camera>
                <!-- add camera behaviors -->
                <behaviors>
                  <!-- enable default auto-rotate behavior -->
                  <auto-rotate type="0"></auto-rotate>
                  <!-- enable and configure the framing behavior -->
                  <framing type="2" zoom-on-bounding-info="true" zoom-stops-animation="false"></framing>
                  <!-- enable default bouncing behavior -->
                  <bouncing type="1"></bouncing>
                </behaviors>
              <position x="3" y="3" z="3"></position>
              </camera>
              <scene>
                <clear-color r="1" g="1" b="1"></clear-color>
              </scene>
            </babylon>
