You’ve cooked up an amazing 3D model and you’d like to show it off. . . to your mum who doesn’t have a 3D modelling tool install or have any hope of getting one. What do you do?
You use OurBricks – a new beta service that lets you share your 3D models online. The benefit? It works entirely through your web browser and requires no dedicated 3D model software at all. Viewers can twirl around the design from a browser window to examine all sides of your model. Now your mum can take a good look at that dancing hippopotamus you’ve been working on.
The catch? There is one: your browser must be webGL-enabled, meaning it’s either Google Chrome or Firefox. You’ll have to turn on the webGL flag, too. Currently OurBricks accepts .OBJ and .COLLADA files. Enjoy!

Hi there,
I work at Katalabs the company behind OurBricks. Thank you for writing about us; it's really good to see.
A small piece of good news is that as of yesterday Google Chrome's Stable version now has WebGL enabled by default so we can finally point to a non-beta browser which feels very good as you can imagine. Full store here: http://chrome.blogspot.com/2011/02/dash-of-speed-3d-and-apps.html
Chers,
Henrik
