[NTG-context] embedding 3d pdf

2008-11-22 Thread Michail Vidiassov
Dear All,

since ConTeXt lacks support for embedding 3D models (U3D or PRC) into PDF
(btw, is pdf annotations support in context/luatex combination fit for end-user 
or is "in transition"?)
I have tried to embed some 3D PDFs from
http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/gallery/3D%20graphs/
and
http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/u3d/pdf/ 
using
\externalfigure[3dpf.pdf]
\startpagefigure[3dpdf.pdf]\stoppagefigure
\copypages[3dpdf.pdf][n=1]
but only the preview (flat) images show up,
not the 3D model, that must appear after clicking on it in Adobe Reader.
File size shows that the 3D annotation data was not taken from the 3D PDF 
file into ConTeXt output.

Any advice on possible workarounds? Any hope for ConTeXt fixes?

Or making a link to an external PDF file is the only option for now?

   Sincerely, Michail

PS.
I have seen the code from Renaud AUBIN in the "U3D (embedded 3D objects)" 
thread,
http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2006/020220.html
but it is too ugly and old a hack to start any work from.

the other question remains - does it make sense to try to implement
3d model embedding in proper way for public use now or the underlying
luatex/context part has not been developed/updated yet?

LuaTeX roadmap promised that
"Think of annotations and object management. The first code will show up
later in 2008."
Did it?
Is there a ConTeXt API to it?
Is it planned to come in some future?
Or  spec-pdf dated 1997.09.20 is what we are to live with?

spec-fdf and spec-pdf are occasionally extended (but nowadays pdf itself 
is not so much evolving)

there will bea dedicated luatex/mkiv backend module next year; first i 
need to rewrite lots of other code (currently i'm redoing the reference 
related code, and when that's done, the backend rewriting is easier)

Renaud's "u3d" inclusion macros seem to be modeled after "mov" inclusion.
But including movies does not work for me in minimals (see my post on that).
