Are you tired of the same old static images and text in your Google Slides presentations? Spice things up by adding interactive 3D models to captivate and engage your audience. Here's how to create and embed 3D models in Google Slides in just a few easy steps.
Step 1: Create or Find a 3D Model
Start by creating your own 3D model using software like Blender or SketchUp, or find a pre-made 3D model on websites like Sketchfab or Google Poly. Make sure the model is saved in a compatible format like .obj or .glb.
Step 2: Upload the 3D Model to Google Drive
Once you have your 3D model ready, upload it to your Google Drive. Make sure the file is set to 'Anyone with the link can view' to ensure it can be embedded in your presentation.
Step 3: Get the Embed Code
Open the 3D model file in Google Drive and click the 'Open in new window' icon. Once the 3D model is open in a new tab, click the three dots in the top right corner and select 'Embed item.' This will generate an embed code for your 3D model.
Step 4: Insert the Embed Code into Google Slides
Open your Google Slides presentation and navigate to the slide where you want to insert the 3D model. Go to 'Insert' > 'Video' and select 'By URL.' Paste the embed code into the URL field and click 'Select' to insert the 3D model into your slide.
Step 5: Adjust the Size and Position
Once the 3D model is inserted, you can resize and position it on the slide to fit your desired layout. Click and drag the corners of the 3D model to resize it, and drag it to move it around the slide.
Step 6: Preview and Present
After inserting and adjusting the 3D model, preview your presentation to ensure everything looks as you intended. When presenting, your audience can interact with the 3D model by clicking and dragging to rotate and view it from different angles.
By following these simple steps, you can take your Google Slides presentations to the next level with interactive 3D models that are sure to captivate your audience. So why stick with boring old slides when you can bring your content to life with immersive 3D visuals? Try it out and see the difference it makes in engaging your audience!
