Course Description

Model-viewer is a web component created by Google. It makes displaying user interact-able 3D models on a web page a walk in the park. In this course I show you


  • How to source 3D assets online free or at low cost.

  • How to use the free 3D modelling program Blender to prepare the assets to work with model-viewer

  • How to use the online model-viewer editor to create a 3D web app

  • How to add augmented reality (AR) experiences to the page.

  • How to use pre-set model positions to direct a user to a product’s key features

  • How to setup a template for a shop featuring 3D displays of products for sale

  • A guide to the model-viewer API for more advanced developers

The course is aimed at Front-End developers with some HTML experience wanting to use the simplest and most robust Web Component to display 3D content on a web page. No programming experience is assumed.

Working with real-time 3D is fun and playing with AR is fascinating. You’ll be amazed at how much can be done with minimal HTML mark-up.

As usual there is a 30-day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose.

The course includes some useful examples that could form the starting templates for your own pages.

Time to bring your webpages into the 3rd dimension.


Student Feedback

"I was a bit skeptical after seeing the trailer because I thought I was already very familiar with model-viewer and wouldn't learn anything new. I was very wrong. Model-viewer has many more features (beyond those shown in the examples on the project website) and Nicholas does a very good job of presenting them with useful examples."

"I just completed this course and found it to be very informative. As someone always eager to learn, It was fun to discover and learn new information and techniques throughout the course. One of the best part for me was the 'Code Together' chapters, which were very engaging and also enhanced my understanding by applying concepts in a practical setting. I would highly recommend it to others looking to expand their knowledge in this field."

Instructor Details

Nicholas Lever

After getting a degree in Graphic Design, I started work in 1980 as a cartoon animator. Buying a Sinclair ZX81 back in 1982 was the start of a migration to a full time programmer. The ZX81 was quickly swapped for the Sinclair Spectrum, a Z80 processor and a massive 48K of ram made this a much better computer to develop games. I developed a few games using Sinclair Basic and then Assembler. The Spectrum was swapped for a Commodore Amiga and I developed more games in the shareware market, moving to using C. At this stage it was essentially a hobby. Paid work was still animated commercials. 

I finally bought a PC in the early nineties and completed an Open University degree in Maths and Computing. I created a sprite library ActiveX control and authored my first book, aimed at getting designers into programming. In the mid nineties along came Flash and the company I was now running, Catalyst Pictures, became known for creating games. 

Since then the majority of my working life has been creating games, first in Flash and Director, as Director published the first widely available 3D library that would run in a browser using a plugin.

El curso es excelente...por todo lo que se aprende sin embargo es importante tener un nivel de programacion minimo para seguir este curso o ir aprendiendo al mismo tiempo al menos las bases de programacion.

This course is definitely useful for me.

Mais ou menos, muitos passos são difíceis de executar porque a pessoa tem que ter experiencia em VS

Minor inconveniences set this content back, but all and all, you get what you ask for. I am not complaining, very good and working at the same time.

There's not too much out there on this topic and Nick does a fantastic job covering it for beginners. His generosity in posting the Model Viewer Editor video was what won me over to ultimately purchase the course.
