A utility like that likely does not exist, As most sites would rather people hotlink directly to their services. https://viewstl.com provides a 'load from URL' function, but does not appear to have any way to send a link that would automatically open a model.

with webgl, in might even entirely be doable as all client side.  just no big open source thing for it yet...

# How to 3D view an OBJ or STL object given its URL?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-08-13)

I have OBJ and STL files generated by reality capture software and stored on a website.

I'd like to send our users web links that will take them to a 3D object web viewer loaded with the corresponding object.

I can't seem to find a simple online viewer that can do this given a URL. What do you suggest?
