[thelist] 3D rendering in browser

[Barney Carroll]

The only thing I could conscionably recommend to you is a 3D API plugin for
Flash along the lines of

As Hassan mentioned, there are some very powerful ways of using Javascript

I wouldn't seriously recommend a JS+<canvas/> solution for a popular product
though, since the browser's Javascript engine and PC power really come into
play, and graphics acceleration is entirely unappreciated.
