    Two files are created:
    • One is an H3D file, using anim#.h3d as the file name (the # is a sequential number that is automatically assigned to the H3D file).
    • The other is a sample HTML file including <OBJECT> and <EMBED> statements for the corresponding H3D file.
  4. To review the model:
    Double click the HTML file to launch a browser and view the model in a web browser.

    Or

    Click H3D to activate the standalone HyperView Player application.

    You can customize the external HTML template, h3d_template.html, located in the altair/hm/html directory, to suit your needs.
