Hypercosm Teleporter
Last updated: Jan 29, 2007
Learn more about Teleporter Pro software tool for web-enabling 3D models designed with Google SketchUp Pro. Hypercosm Teleporter automatically exports SketchUp models into interactive web pages. It preserves the SketchUp rendering style and converts model data into a "view only" Hypercosm applet format. This allows a user to view and explore a model using the free Hypercosm Player, but not to modify or change it - keeping design data private. Hypercosm Teleporter also has the advantage of a low file size format that makes web-based graphics practical for 3D models and animations. A SketchUp user can now get more value out of their 3D models by posting them online, or sharing with customers, colleagues, friends and family through email just like other electronic documents.
