interactive 3D pdf in processing?

Hi!, does anybody knows how to create a 3d pdf in processing? Not only a flat 3d view but a fully interactive 3D document.

thanks in advance!

pretty sure not possible.
i would say try to export whatever you create in Processing as 3d model and import it to pdf3d somehow, if you want real interactivity not only moving the object, stay with processing/applets

hey Cedric, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I need the 3D pdf since it is for an astronomy paper where I want to include some galaxy maps as interactive plots. I made the models in processing and was hoping to keep all within processing in a  clean pipeline. It would be cool to have the option to write 3d pdf directly in processing as easy as it is now for normal pdf.

A good solution would be to write a .u3d file exporter in a similar way as the .obj exporter. Maybe one day I will try...

thanks again!
