Facebook 3D Posts
Facebook 3D Posts is a feature on the social networking website Facebook. It was first enabled on October 11, 2017 by introducing a new native 3D media type in Facebook News Feed. Initially the users could only post 3D objects from Oculus Medium and marker drawings from Spaces directly to Facebook as fully interactive 3D objects. The feature has become available for desktops and mobile phones.[1]
On 20 February 20, 2018 Facebook added support for the industry-standard glTF 2.0 file format for Facebook 3D posts. This allowed artists and creators to share 3D content on Facebook from a variety of sources. To make 3D Posts glTF 2.0 compliant, the support for textures, lighting, and physically based rendering techniques was implemented. 3D posts also support unlit workflows for photogrammetry and stylized art.[2]
Creating 3D Posts
There are four ways to get a 3D asset to appear in a Facebook Post:[3]
- Create a 3D Post programmatically with the 3D Posts API.
- Share a link to a web page that has Facebook Open Graph Sharing metadata tags.
- Share a local asset on an Android device using Android's native Sharing action.
- Drag and drop an asset into Facebook's Post composer and publish it.
