I’ve just downloaded the Wild Pockets 3D engine for Firefox. This is a huge advancement. I came out of the 3D modeling and animation world back when a lot of custom/proprietary code was being written and the software only ran on high end Unix workstations. It is amazing to me to see how the industry has evolved. I’m including this fun demo from the Wild Pockets website to show the capabilities of the 3D engine.
I believe this will totally change many online applications, much the way computer games went from InfoComm text only games to the incredible visuals available now in games like World of Warcraft.
This demo requires an ActiveX or Firefox plugin in order to work. I tested it in Google Chrome, but no happiness there. No plugin for Chrome at this time.
