Various methods and systems, for implementing three-dimensional resource integration, are provided. 3D resource integration includes integration of 3D resources into different types of functionality, such as, operating system, file explorer, application and augmented reality functionality. In operation, an indication to perform an operation with a 3D object is received. One or more 3D resource controls, associated with the operation, are accessed. The 3D resource control is a defined set of instructions on how to integrate 3D resources with 3D objects for generating 3D-based graphical interfaces associated with application features and operating system features. An input based on one or more control elements of the one or more 3D resource controls is received. The input includes the one or more control elements that operate to generate a 3D-based graphical interface for the operation. Based on receiving the input, the operation is executed with the 3D object and the 3D-based graphical interface.

Three-dimensional resource integration system

A three-dimensional model can be presented in a two-dimensional digital canvas on a computer display. User input directed at the three-dimensional model in the two-dimensional canvas can be received. The three-dimensional model can be manipulated in response to the user input. A two-dimensional view of the three-dimensional model can be displayed. Corresponding data structures for the model, the canvas, and the two-dimensional objects in the data structure can be maintained and updated. One or more additional techniques can also be utilized in a computer system, such as continuous user-controlled model rotation in a two-dimensional canvas; viewport autofit and non-autofit modes; rotating the model around a camera look-at point; ghosting outside the viewport; normalizing modeling units and values; preset buttons with on-button previews; user-defined view presets; and/or two-dimensional image substitution.
