3-D Model Support Comes To MediaGoblin

Posted by timothy on from the oh-it's-about-yea-big dept.

paroneayea writes "MediaGoblin and LulzBot have teamed up to bring 3-D model support to MediaGoblin! The announcement shows off a live demo of the new feature... it uses Blender on the backend to render stills and thingiview.js to show realtime WebGL previews. This means MediaGoblin is becoming more useful for 3-D artists and people interested in 3-D printing, especially those looking for a free-as-in-freedom alternative to Thingiverse."

    Heya, You're right actually, I missed submitting that. MediaGoblin is basically what you can think of as a free software, decentralized replacement to media publishing systems like YouTube/Flickr/SoundCloud... and now moving into the Thingiverse space. :)

    From context, it appears to be a media sharing website for images and now, 3d objects.

    Not quite. MediaGoblin is a free open source software suite developed by the GNU project for creating your own media sharing site.
