Some of these might have the ability to play your formats.

This is interesting and sends me on a whole new thought pattern on this. Honestly, my possible client is not very realistic about what can and can't be done. He wants to run his own animation in MD3 after I design his clothing and why I was looking for a simple way to convert it. If he let me do it then I would do the animation in another program all together.

However this really has me thinking of embeding a 3d OBJ veiwer in my store. I'm working one a new set of obj's to sell as starter kits.

Thank you so much for your help

 

There are likely a bunch more viewers available that will use a static OBJ with materials, or certainly VRML1/VRML2 files. Yes, that should allow to give the user a more interactive experience than a pre-rendered video or 3D view. There are 3D viewers that can work from a single large image or image sequence, similar to Quicktime3D. There may be some that are standards based to the point that most browsers may load and run them well enough. Look under web3d.org or similar resources.

If you want to incorporate a more sophisticated walk sequence though, that's where a game engine that is well tuned to work with 3DS Max or Maya in the first place could work the magic. Wth any luck, there's a viewer that just loads your file and playes it.
