--- title: "Features" url: "https://govie-editor.de/en/features" description: "Text editor with a wide range of functions" --- ## Overview ### 3D model, CAD or 360° panorama The Govie Editor makes it possible to present a 3D model in a way that was previously only possible with programming knowledge. Add camera moves, interactive hotspots, post effects, or lighting setups to quickly create stunning web applications. [Try out features](#try_features) - #### Animations Play **animations** in the 3D model in a controlled manner. Be the director. - #### Annotations **Annotations** - This makes it easy to label and explain parts of your model. - #### Hotspots **Hotspots** - Can be used as interactive jump labels, as labels or for external links. - #### Visibility **Visibilities** - objects or groups of objects can be shown and hidden using the Visibility custom property. - #### Design **Corporate Design** - By means of CSS the design can be adapted to all needs. - #### Post-effects **Post-Effects** - To improve the look of your models, we have added some effects like Depth of Field, Ambient Shadow, Bloom or Contour Drawing. - #### Asset editor **Asset Editor** \- edit 3D models directly online, assign materials and create animations. - #### 2D text and media **2D text and media** \- Within a govie, you can add and design text, images, and videos. ## Try features ### Try out the Govie Editor features live in a Govie. ![Govie Editor: Live features](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/_variants/83e470323228c706d1663e657c1164fdbe536fa65102b533a3fec606b199dfde.webp?dpl=dpl_B9EHZ4ECWBjf56dvVSjpPZcDHi53) Load content once A connection to the third-party provider is made only when you load this content.

Use the external link. ## Formats ### 3D model, CAD or 360° panorama In addition to 3D models, the **online text editor** can also be used to embed conventional 2D media such as **images, text and videos**. Three different **Govie types** can be created, based on either **CAD data, 3D models or 360° images**. - #### 360° images Integrate 360° images from 3D data, from phone/Go-Pro or directly with Google Street View - #### Video Upload videos or embed via link - #### 3D models Polygon models from model library or created by yourself - #### Text Text editor with a wide range of functions - #### CAD models Direct CAD import from STEP, IGES, DWG and over 30 other formats - #### Websites Embed websites as IFrame also in Govie #### Cineastic Govie For the creation of visually sophisticated visualizations. A cinematic govie provides the best visual results and uses additional information from the **3D model**. This allows animations to be played at the touch of a button or visibilities to be set. ![Herz Visual 3](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/_variants/83e470323228c706d1663e657c1164fdbe536fa65102b533a3fec606b199dfde.webp?dpl=dpl_B9EHZ4ECWBjf56dvVSjpPZcDHi53)[Cineastic example](https://platform.govie.de/share/revision/qDtvA5s92LhtAkhav?Herz-Annotation-EN) #### Technical Govie Designed for users with a technical focus in mechanical engineering, architecture, and process representations.

You can even play just a range of your timeline or play it backwards. Besides regular **keyframe animations** , the GLTF format supports **armature** and **shape keys** (aka morph targets). [Animations](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/artist/6e33cc29ba7b.mov) [Open video: Animations](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/artist/6e33cc29ba7b.mov) Visibility of objects Objects or groups of objects can be hidden or shown using the visibility property. You can add that property to your objects in the 3D-Software of your choice. [Visibility of objects](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/artist/2af91be5ac56.mov) [Open video: Visibility of objects](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/artist/2af91be5ac56.mov) Lighting and background colors For each slide in a Govie, you can change the lighting and background colors. There are several environments to choose from, as well as a custom lighting using sun- or spotlights. See how it’s done by checking this [video demonstration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XwJpmdxozQ&t=371s).

[Advanced post effects](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/artist/ccf4a02550ae.mov) [Open video: Advanced post effects](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/artist/ccf4a02550ae.mov) interactive hotspots Hotspots can be used as interactive **Jumpmarks** to **navigate** through your Govie. In addition, they serve as **labels** or to jump to **external pages**. Watch this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XwJpmdxozQ&t=542s) to see hotspots in action.

Get an **overview of your projects**, see all your **workspaces,** upload new media to the **library**, and share or embed your Govie**.** [Online-Dashboard](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/artist/05d272a741c3.mov) [Open video: Online-Dashboard](https://cdn.govie.de/govie-editor-de/artist/05d272a741c3.mov) Share within seconds For each Govie you can either [**release a draft**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6IHr8fZwJM&t=96s) or [**publish the Govie.**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6IHr8fZwJM&t=123s) Either way will get you a share link, but the draft will always lead to the latest version, so people will see any changes you make immediately. Publishing a Govie creates a fixed revision, so you can continue working while users only see that particular status.
