I uploaded a model with normal map but does not appear in the model seen by the web player. The player displays only the model with diffuse map without normal.
inside 3DVIA the Studio same model .DAE appears perfectly with the diffuse and normal map
I uploaded the model .DAE plus 2 textures difuse and normal map

How to make the player show diffuse and normal map with a .DAE? Is there any settings or material setup inside 3DS MAX 2010
What is the best format to use with 3DVIA Studio and the best to be uploaded on 3Dvia.com?

Model exported from 3DS MAX 2010 with "Autodesk 3dsMax exporters for 3DVIA Studio (1.0.0.118 Beta)"

Here you can see the same model displayed on player and studio (without changes on settings, only one omni light)

The model viewer/player doesn't have a shader which supports normals maps.. So until they update their shaders inside the player won't be possible.

Thanks for reply
I hope that soon the player receives an update to display models with normal map.
This will make the models become much more beautiful

If your using Studio why not just publish your own experience

Most of the controls you need are in template form already so its just a matter of drag and dropping!

The 3D Player is the glue that binds all our work together and we've been constantly pushing for support of multiple texture maps and effects. Currently we are investigating diffrent formats to publish from studio so that all that information is present in the web player. As soon as we have a workflow we will publish it

The background information is that 3dxml is the native format of the 3D Player, and 3DXML is the main format of a few other large applications in the Dassault Systems family so any changes and improvement have to go through multiple approval and R&D testing.

Any news on when we might get normal map support in the web viewer?

Actually yes
The new Studio tech used in experiences can display multiple map shaders. I created a blog guiding you through the process here:
