If you can require QT in your projects then you can use the Axel 
Component to do this <http://www.mindavenue.com/en/home/>.  LiveStage 
Pro allows you to control the Axel 3D models by sending commands to the 
Axel model to turn on/off elements, start animations, etc.  We used 
this component to interact with 3D models of a fetus showing how an 
ultrasound machine acquires 3 dimensional scans of the fetus.  We were 
able to use one model (which was very small in regards to file size) in 
many different ways since we could turn elements on or off depending on 
what we wanted to teach the user.  You would have to use the EnhancedQT 
external to handle the interaction though.  Worked great.
