Extension:3D

The 3D extension gives the user of a wiki support for uploading and viewing 3D models. See Help:Extension:3d for documentation.

It currently supports the AMF and STL file formats from the 3d printing world.

Short-term plan for Wikimedia production release

 * 1) ✅ Upload and hooks for 2D rendering code made into this extension
 * 2) ✅ Code review for T132064 (282211) - "Make Media Viewer pluggable for the 3d extension, videos, …"
 * 3) ✅ Deploy to Beta Cluster for testing, bug-discovery, and further editor feedback
 * 4) Request UI/UX input on possible fixes & improvements, in the short-term and medium-term

Rotation and zooming
It is possible to rotate the 3D object using either the keyboard (using arrow keys) or the mouse. Zooming in and out is also possible using the mouse.
