[Bf-committers] Google's O3D, 3d web player follow-up

[Wael EL ORAIBY]

The questions are, what are the objectives to attain exactly: For what
purpose? Who is going to use it? What to gain for the blender
community?

>From my experience, using javascript with external modules is *still*
a bit slow, even when it is for 2D application (maybe this will be two
times faster with tracemonkey) . I have given a project to students to
measure the speed of javascript with java (i.e. use javascript and
control a java applet). Needless to say, for loading is ok since it is
done only once, but with logic it was very slow for every frame. Again
this might be because of java.

There is this plugins for firefox called canvas 3D that used an
opengl-es, very similar to O3D :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7171

For the web, ppl are either interested in JSON or xml based collada,
unless it is a game where the BGE becomes interesting.
