quicktime 3D

[Viktoras Didziulis]

Thanks Henk! 
 
VRML would be the easiest choice. I wonder is there any way to embed VRML
directly into application without using an embeded browser... If not,
possibly arcade engine is the only way to go, as it is quite difficult to
find even a description of 3D formats used by quicktime. 3dmf seemed like
something to grasp on, but the suddenly it appeared that my new quicktime
has no idea what these files are for ;-) 
 
Best regards 
Viktoras

Hello Viktoras, 
 
You could take a look at AXELedge, www.mindavenue.com (ahem, I just 
saw that AXELedge is no longer available..) 
They have a QT plugin that allows QT player to play interactive 3D 
content. However, I don't know whether it's possible to create .axs 
files on the fly. 
 
Another option is FBX for QuickTime (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/ 
servlet/index?id=6837478&siteID=123112). I have never used that, but 
maybe someone else can tell you more about this. 
 
If you want to create 3D surfaces out of a collection of data, maybe 
VRML / X3D is a better option (http://www.web3d.org/x3d/). X3D's file 
format is XML, so it would be easy to create these files on the fly. 
These files can be played in a web browser using plug ins (for 
example Cortona VRML client: http://www.parallelgraphics.com/products/ 
cortona/ - supports only VRML however, no X3D; but VRML is also a 
text based file format). So the best thing would probably be to use 
altBrowser to display web pages inside Revolution, and have your 3D 
files played in the web page. 
 
Kind regards, 
Henk
