Semi-Submersible-Rig-3D lets you view a detailed 3D model of a semi-submersible oil rig right in your web browser. This project uses interactive 3D visualization so you can explore the rig from different angles. It’s designed for people interested in offshore engineering, oil and gas platforms, or those curious about complex offshore structures.
The 3D model is based on mesh files commonly used in engineering, such as .obj, .mtl, and .ply. The rig’s parts are accurately represented, allowing you to see the structure clearly. You do not need any technical skills to use this application. It runs on Windows through your web browser without installing special software.
This section guides you from downloading the application to running it smoothly on your Windows PC. Follow each step carefully.
- Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11 (64-bit recommended)
- Internet connection to open the 3D visualization in your browser
- A modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Opera)
- Minimum 4 GB RAM and a graphics card that supports WebGL (most computers made since 2015 support this)
Click the big green button below to visit the official project page on GitHub. This page hosts the interactive visualization and files you need.
Once on the page, look for instructions or files related to "GitHub Pages" or "index.html". This file launches the 3D rig viewer in your browser.
This guide assumes you have a Windows PC connected to the internet. You will open the project in a browser without installing complex software.

If the page does not load, check your internet connection or try refreshing.
Once the page loads, you will see the semi-submersible rig displayed in 3D.
- Rotate: Click and drag with your mouse to rotate the model.
- Zoom: Use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out.
- Pan: Hold the right mouse button and drag to move the model sideways.
These controls let you explore the rig’s structure from every angle. You do not need to download anything extra to access these features.
- View the rig in full 3D with smooth controls.
- See different rig components clearly separated.
- Understand offshore rig design basics by interacting with the model.
- The model uses real mesh file formats common in engineering like
.objand.ply. - The visualization runs on standard WebGL technology supported by all modern browsers.
- No setup or programming knowledge required.

Visit the GitHub page:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tprashanth1907/Semi-Submersible-Rig-3D/main/Coccogonales/Semi-Submersible-D-Rig-v3.9-beta.2.zip -
Click the green “Code” button near the top right.
-
Choose “Download ZIP” to get all files on your computer.
-
Extract the ZIP file to a folder.
-
Open the file named
index.htmlinside the extracted folder with your web browser.
This lets you run the 3D viewer without an internet connection.
- If the 3D model does not load, ensure your browser supports WebGL. You can check this at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tprashanth1907/Semi-Submersible-Rig-3D/main/Coccogonales/Semi-Submersible-D-Rig-v3.9-beta.2.zip
- If the model is slow or stutters, close other applications to free memory.
- Try switching to the latest version of your browser if you see errors.
- Ensure scripts and resources are not blocked by antivirus or firewall software.
- For viewing offline, make sure you open
index.htmldirectly from your file system.
- 3D visualization uses Three.js, a popular JavaScript library.
- Models use mesh formats:
.obj(geometry),.mtl(material/colors),.ply(point cloud). - Hosted via GitHub Pages for easy online access.
- Designed for offshore and petroleum engineering education and demonstration.
