interesting
jup,. that does look somewhat interesting,. however, I did not get past the corpo-speak of the license to d/l the plugin,. I just don't have the patients (not so vertuous is seems,.) to read all that crap,. and therfore will be unlikely to bother working with that system,. also I have no intereste in runing anything in a browser,. I like my games to dominate the system!
I am curious though Kj, how large a d/l is the plug??
I had just read this article in defence of javascript,. .

I was just joking about the Javascript!
Too bad that we will probably will never able to convert/recode ZGE in order to make it O3D-compliant. We still need to catch with the mainstream and that would have been an amazing opportunity...

In the fall of 1972 President Nixon announced that the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing. This was the first time a sitting president used the third derivative to advance his case for reelection.

Hi guys,
The O3D plugin installer is 534KB ( not sure if it pulls any additional data from the web, but I doubt it ).
Javascript is slow compared to anything compiled, and since O3D seems to handle input through JS, it's probably not particularly suited for high-paced games. They do have Z-Sorting, Culling, Raycast, Skin, Animation Curves, Proportional Fonts, Quaternions, Render Targets / Passes and a COLLADA importer though
+ The terms of service just says "don't sue us, it's not our fault" and "don't re-sell d3dx9_36.dll". But if you don't want to agree you can just download the sources and compile the plugin yourself
