3D objects on your map
You can now place 3D objects on your map. Upload a .glb file, and your
model sits on the canvas like any picture: move it, scale it, link to it.
But it is not a picture, and here is what that brings.
Choose your view
In the editor, turn the camera around the model to the angle you like, and zoom in or out until it is framed the way you want. That view is the one your visitors see.

Animations
Many models come with animations: a walk, a run, a wave. Choose one, and choose when it plays:
- When the cursor moves: the model comes alive as visitors move the pointer.
- When the camera moves: it plays while visitors pan and zoom around the map.
- Always: it never stops.
Animations can also start turned off, for a calmer map.

Sharp at any zoom
A map invites visitors to zoom in. When they do, Mapnil paints the model again at the new size, so it stays sharp instead of turning blurry.
