Abstract
A method, system and computer-readable medium for providing user-interfacing within textures of three-dimensional models. A processor with hardware and software components stores one or more markup documents with one or more user-interface element that may be a link element in one or more texture image files of predefined three-dimensional model(s). Then, the processor generates a three-dimensional model(s) for display on a display device based on predefined three-dimensional model information, predefined viewpoint information and the one or more markup documents stored in the one or more texture image files. Users can cause the processor to generate a new markup documents as texture by selecting a link element displayed within the three-dimensional model's texture.
