Over the last year, I noticed a pattern .. what do you think and do?

How do you primarily! find e.g. #3dmodel #3dprint content that you need or like?

- Do you use search engines to look for models when you have a problem to solve?

- Do you browse content webpages and collections, follow makes, remixes, links, look for new uploads?

- Do you primarily follow a select group of people or influencers on social media and only visit content websites to check out their work?

Everyone who uses #SketchUp knows about #FaceMe objects, a near-zero poly 2D image that rotates to match your viewpoint. The drawbacks are that they are flat when you look from the top and distorted from other aerial views.

So, why not use 360 VR but in a hemispherical way, where an object is represented by a series of images based on the angle of the shot, and depending on the angle of view, the image changes to align to the nearest matching angle. Add alpha to cast shadows.
