A while ago, I wanted to make a Google Drive extension. Currently, 3D files are not viewable in Google Drive, so I decided to write an extension that can display OBJ (Wavefront) files directly in your browser. On the internet, I found an example which used Three.js to load and render a locally stored OBJ file. I used this example and combined it with the Google Drive API. I also used the dat.GUI JavaScript library to add some extra controls. This way, you can set the background (clear) color, the light color and the light intesity. You can even embed the OBJ file in realtime 3D into your website, by making the folder, where the OBJ file is located, public, and pasting the embed code into your website!
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
