# 3D Viewer
**3D Viewer** is a lightweight web application built with [Gradio](https://gradio.app) that allows users to view 3D models along with their corresponding height map and source images. The app dynamically loads these resources by parsing URL query string parameters, providing a seamless and interactive experience.
## Features
- **3D Model Display:**
Uses `gr.Model3D` to render 3D models dynamically from a URL parameter (`3d`).
- **Image Slider:**
Displays images (height map and source image) using `gr.ImageSlider`. The images are loaded via URL query parameters named `hm` (height map) and `image` (source image).
- **File Upload:**
Includes an `gr.UploadButton` for uploading new file types like `.glb`, `.gltf`, `.obj`, `.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.webp`, and `.ply`.
- **Permalink Generation:**
- Automatically generates a permalink when query parameters are provided in the URL.
- Users can also generate a permalink manually after uploading files by clicking the "Generate Permalink" button.
- The permalink includes query parameters (`3d`, `hm`, and `image`) to share the current model and images.
- **Dynamic Button Behavior:**
- The "Generate Permalink" button is disabled when a permalink is automatically generated from query parameters.
- The button is re-enabled when new files are uploaded, allowing users to generate a new permalink.
- **HuggingFace Integration:**
- Downloads files from HuggingFace repositories using `huggingface_hub.hf_hub_download`.
- Supports authentication with HuggingFace via an API token.
- Handles nested subfolders and filenames in HuggingFace datasets.
- **Custom Theming:**
The interface is styled with the `Surn/Beeuty` theme to ensure a modern and cohesive look.
## How It Works
- **Query String Parsing:**
The app retrieves query string values (e.g., `3d`, `hm`, `image`) and dynamically loads the corresponding 3D model and images. If query parameters are provided, a permalink is automatically generated and displayed.
- **Permalink Generation:**
- The app uses the `generate_permalink_from_urls` function in `storage.py` to construct a permalink URL with query parameters.
- The permalink can be shared to load the same 3D model and images in another session.
- **File Upload and Permalink Behavior:**
- Users can upload files (3D models and images) using the upload button.
- After uploading, the "Generate Permalink" button becomes active, allowing users to create a new permalink for the uploaded files.
- The permalink includes the uploaded files' URLs.
- **HuggingFace Downloads:**
- The app uses `huggingface_hub.hf_hub_download` to download files from HuggingFace repositories.
- It supports nested subfolders and filenames in HuggingFace datasets.
- Authentication is handled via the HuggingFace API token.
- **Static Paths:**
The app sets static paths for directories such as `images/`, `models/`, and `assets/` for accessing local resources.
## Getting Started
1. **Install Dependencies:**
Ensure you have Python 3.12.8 installed and install Gradio (v5.29.0 or compatible):
```pip install gradio==5.29.0 huggingface_hub```
2. **Run the Application:**
Start the app by executing:
```python app.py```
3. **Use the Query String:**
After launching, the app can load specific resources if you pass the following query parameters in the URL:
- `3d`: URL for the 3D model (e.g., `?3d=https://example.com/model.glb`)
- `hm`: URL for the height map image (e.g., `?hm=https://example.com/heightmap.png`)
- `image`: URL for the source image (e.g., `?image=https://example.com/source.png`)
Example URL:
```
http://localhost:7860/?3d=https://example.com/model.glb&hm=https://example.com/heightmap.png&image=https://example.com/source.png

```
4. **Upload Files and Generate Permalink:**
- Use the "Upload 3D Files" button to upload a 3D model and up to two images.
- After uploading, click the "Generate Permalink" button to create a shareable link for the uploaded files.
