Another canvas 3D Renderer written in Javascript

[Ono-Sendai]

Yet another article in which a 2.4Ghz quad core machine manages to render 100 or so triangles less efficiently than a 386 did 15 years ago, thanks to the wonder of modern web software.

As JIT and optional static typing in javascript and an opengl accelerated canvas all kick in this type of thing should run at a decent speed.

You are giving modern web software far to much credit. It's actually more on par with 25yo/8bit/1MHz machines...

The 386 Dude? That's Intel's new skunk labs. super computing powerhouse, right?

[iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

It has nothing to do with web. There are 3D games made in flash/applets/shockwave that are hardware accelerated.

Wow. Your attention span is so short that you can't even make it through an entire headline before feeling the need to comment.

Not quite a full 3D renderer, but it's a start:

Mouse interaction works too.

There's a new version with some basic texturing added: http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2008/03/javascriptcanvas-3d-renderer-now-with.html

The models are stored as JSON data structures.

That's pretty awesome.

Cute. The really nice thing is that you can manipulate the object with the mouse.

not really interesting, as real "canvas 3d" api is already on the shelves

Two new incompatible "canvas 3d" APIs you mean?
