Are you tired of the same old 2D visuals in your Google Slides presentations? Spice things up by incorporating 3D models to add a new dimension of interactivity and engagement for your audience. With the ability to rotate, zoom, and explore objects from all angles, 3D models can bring your content to life and make a lasting impression. And the best part? Embedding 3D models in Google Slides is easier than you might think. Here's how you can do it in a few simple steps:

Step 1: Create or Find a 3D Model

The first step is to either create your own 3D model or find one that suits your presentation. There are various tools and platforms available for creating or downloading 3D models, such as Tinkercad, SketchUp, or websites like Sketchfab and TurboSquid.

Step 2: Convert to Google Slides Supported Format

Once you have your 3D model ready, you may need to convert it to a format supported by Google Slides. Google Slides currently supports 3D models in .glb or .gltf file formats. If your model is in a different format, you can use online converters or 3D modeling software to convert it.

Step 3: Upload the 3D Model to Google Drive

Before embedding the 3D model in your Google Slides presentation, you'll need to upload it to Google Drive. Simply drag and drop the .glb or .gltf file into your Google Drive folder.

Step 4: Embed the 3D Model in Google Slides

Once your 3D model is in Google Drive, you can easily embed it in your Google Slides presentation. Open your presentation, go to the slide where you want to insert the 3D model, and select 'Insert' from the menu. Choose 'Image' and then 'Drive' to access your Google Drive files. Select the 3D model file and click 'Insert' to add it to the slide. You can now resize and reposition the 3D model to fit your presentation layout.

Step 5: Interact with the 3D Model

Once the 3D model is embedded in your Google Slides, your audience can interact with it during the presentation. They can click and drag to rotate the model, use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, and explore the details from different angles.

By following these simple steps, you can take your Google Slides presentations to the next level with interactive 3D models. Whether you're teaching a complex concept, showcasing a product, or simply adding some visual pizzazz, embedding 3D models will surely impress your audience and elevate your presentations.
