We are glad to inform you that we are going to add a new Cloud API, Aspose.3D Cloud, in the products list of aspose.cloud soon. Aspose.3D Cloud is a platform-independent REST API solution to manipulate 3D files without any 3D modeling and rendering software dependencies. It will enable developers to use it in their application to create, read, modify and convert 3D files for free. You may control the substance of 3D document formats easily with a minimal learning curve. The REST API will be available very soon to be consumed in your applications.
Here is a brief overview of the upcoming API. It will not be limited to the following features, but we will keep adding new useful features and support new file formats in the API.
Salient features
1. Format convert
· Convert the whole file into a different format
· Convert part of the file into a different format
2. Modeling and Data Processing
· Parametric Modeling
a. Create entities with specific property
· Delete object from the scene
a. Delete nodes that have a Camera or Light attached, nodes are addressed by Object Addressing Path
3. Utilities
· Extract 3D contents from PDF file
a. Extract raw data (without any modification) from a password-protected PDF file
b. Extract scenes and save them in a different format
· Triangulate meshes
a. Triangulate the whole file and save it to a different file
b. Triangulate the whole file and save it to the original file
c. Triangulate part of the scene (Specified by OAP) and save the scene to a different file
