i'm waiting for my android plugin but unity tells me i didn't buy it.... dammit
that was my first little project to do, get some models to my cellphone and later be able to exchange them
hu beta? you can already buy android pro for unity, i did that and paid a shitload of money for it :O
what'd be really interesting is an app like this for android & iphone, that could be pointed to a "package" of a model/texture/material setup (specially formatted zip file?) anywhere on the web that it could open up and display.
Do that with a bookmark list, and a few options for lighting or something, PIMP.
Then you give it to these polycount folks so that it can be made into a forum plugin. Then you could do stuff like [modelview]http://stuff.com/awesome_model.zip[/modelview] and get a little unity model view right in your thread.
Carlos, I was working on something like with one of the forum admins here :P The unity part is mostly done but I guess he never implemented the forum plugin part of it.
It's possible..
For android publishing You will need download and setup Android SDK so Unity can find libraries when you make your build. You need to digitally sign it also. This is no issue cause this sign you can easily create yourself.. Google for Android SDK and you will find all related information there..
For web viewer look for Unity wordpress plugin if You are confortable with PHP and little Java it should be easy to convert and implement it in forum.. But as Vig said it's rip able i think like all of 3d stuff... If you look into 3D Ripper DX features.
Doesn't Unity support OpenGL? Not impervious to ripping I'm sure, but probably more difficult...?
Ripping is always going to be impossible to prevent in some form or another. I would imagine that in forum form, this would be reserved for learning-related stuff rather than presentation-stuff.
Now as for an android/iphone app, it'd just be nice to be able to show off your stuff on a mobile device like that in an easy way. To whip out an ipad and have some of your 3d stuff on there so easily, would be pretty damn cool!
of course ripping might not be impossible but just an easy pose will make reusing stuff so much more complicated that its not worth even thinking about it. ripping textures, dunno they are sooo assetspecific that ripping them will never really help anybody, so why really fear it?
awesoem unity still thinks i never paid for the upgrade, just awesome, paypal says its a unity problem end unity says its a paypal problem, just greeeeeaaaaat

PIMP I SAY.
Actually heres a test I did:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5055465/pcviewertest/pcviewer.html
It streams an obj file and some png's from the internet.
But how secure is it? I remember in past web model viewers, people could rip models and textures...
