i wanna ask you about how to display a 3d model exported from blender/3d max/maya and interact with it on iPad app.
I wanna load a 3d human head into my UISplitViewController Detail View
the head will be rotated, and when i came over the noise for example, i wanna it highlighted,and when i click it, it take me to another UIViewController.
I've searched about it and i came up with using HTML5, but it's hard to use.
I've came up with using Cocos3d and other engines, but how i can use it in a normal app, not a game.
can you please give me a hint about where i should start ?
Any help will be appreciated.
I've found an engine called "isgl3d engine" that have a powerful capabilities and easy to use in your iPhone/iPad app.

In my app, i want users to click a photo, then i want to allow them to edit it for crop/rotate/straighten. Can i use built-in photos app for that? or is there any open-source/api to have similar view controller.
I know it's a possible duplicate of Is there a view controller for image crop and rotate works like iOS 8 photo.app? but i found no answer here as well.Please let me know if it's possible?
Unfortunately, no.
UIImagePickerViewController allowEditing property, when set to YES, provides you a very simple cropping UI, but it doesn't support advanced rotation as iOS Photo app.
So you'll have to make it yourself.
The github projects in the question you linked might be a good starting point for that. (here's another one)
Good luck !
I wrote one in Swift, you can continue to develop based on this: QCropper
Several years ago I was curious about creating some objects (spoon, ball, tv, ...) in 3d modeling program, export the textures, and then have a screen in iOS app, that can open one object at a time with a possibility to rotate and zoom it. This seemed quite basic and most used case but I didn't find any simple and ready to use solutions/libraries/plugins, just raw OpenGL ES (GlKit), so I refused to use it, as it would require too much knowledge and time as I haven't done any 3d stuff before and my primary work is not related with 3d.
There are also Unity and Cocos3d engines, and it looks like they allow to extend the code by using iOS plugins (xibs/storyboards, navigation with view controllers and etc), but this means you have to make your app project as Unity/Cocos3d first, and only then add your usual UIKit stuff as a plugin. Now that is not acceptable because the project should be written using UIKit first, and I expect to add 3d viewing stuff as a separate component that encapsulates all the necessary stuff inside it as a black box, because I don't want to mess my project up, as this 3d stuff is an optional feature.
Now, after several years I'v searched for the thing again looking for simple 3d viewing plugins/solutions for UIKit, but the situation is pretty much the same imho. I saw iOS8 there will add Scene Kit, but I'm not sure will it be something close to what I expect. So, still I'm not sure is there any solution that would require minimum time efforts, or is OpenGL ES the best solution for this need.
Check out the CC3DemoMultiScene demo app in the latest version of Cocos3D. It demonstrates how to include a Cocos3D scene in a standard UIKit storyboard, and to have the GL view only a component of a larger UIView.
I was wondering if anyone out there knew how to create a form overlay for a FULLSCREEN directX game such as World of Warcraft, using visual basic? I have created an useful application I wanted to use ontop of the fullscreen game. I've searched for hours, only to find that it is possible, but I couldn't find any code for this to be possible. I've found that it uses DirectX to achieve this. It's important not to be confused with windowed mode, my application works on top of that, but not on top of a fullscreen mode.
Thanks,
Possibly you would be best using a solution like this; http://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/c/62019-c-non-hooked-external-directx-overlay.html
The problem with hooking into games to draw overlays is they quite often detect it as a cheat and ban you. Make sure you do not interact with the game's own process and implement the overlay using this method and you should be fine.
i'm looking for an AR API (possibly free) or SDK that may be used on IPAD.
I've tried Wikitude so far, but it's not adapted for IPAD for the moment, and most of the well known API seems to be only made for iPhone..
Any clue on this one?
Any chance that this API offer the possibility to add the AR view as a subview (for example as an element of a tab bar..:))
Thanks a lot
Why are you going for 3rd party library? You can apply AR using local library. On your ViewController make 2 UIView. The one in the back implement Camera View on it. And the one on the front implement whatever you want to show on the live preview of camera. Then if you want to capture the screen just simply take a screenshot and it'll be saved.
I am implementing camera application using then example comes with blackberry plugin for eclipse named "CameraDemo" the problem is that when the screen loses focus It does not display the camera view istead of it shows like this
has anybody faced such problem whats the solution?
This way of taking picture (using the Player and VideoControl.getSnapshot()) does not work nice on all BB models. I'd even say it works nice only on a narrow set of BB models. So if you are going to use your app on a wide range of BB models, then this is not the right way to go.
Instead to take a picture use a built-in Camera app. Here is a starting point on how to do that.
Basically you invoke the built-in Camera app and listen for the file-system changes to detect a new image file path. Then you need to close the built-in Camera app somehow - it's possible to do that by simulating two 'Esc' button presses.
Yes, this sounds a bit hacky/over-complicated, but that's how BB engeneers arranged that for us. :) BTW, this is actually not so bad if compare with Android where different device manufactorers violate the common rules and implement the Camera app in their specific way so you are not able to write the code once covering all Androids.
