3DMLW - Open Source 3D Markup Language for Web
Posted by Dennis on Oct 15, 2008 in 3D • 3 commentsThere’s an interesting article about 3DMLW in the latest issue of BlenderArt magazine. 3DMLW is an Open Source platform for creating 3D and 2D interactive web content. In their own words:
“3DMLW is a Open Source technology for creating and displaying 3D and 2D content on the web through common web-browsers. This technology includes four parts:
- 3DMLW markup language is a specification for creating 3DMLW-documents. 3DMLW is similar to XHTML and easy to understand.
- Scripting support for dynamic and interactive content.
- Style sheets for easy and comfortable designing.
- 3DMLW plug-in for web browsers – This is a browser based plug-in for showing 3DMLW-documents in web-browsers.”
It supports many browsers: Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 6 and later, Mozilla® Firefox®, Flock®, K-Meleon®, Opera, Apple’s® Safari® and Google™ Chrome for Windows but not many operating systems: Microsoft WIndows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000.
One of their future goals is to support other operating systems such as Linux, BSD and Mac.
really really cool….except for it runs only on pcs :\
In the forums there is talk about a Linux plug-in and I see in the code some Mac specific folders. Maybe soon they’ll support both OS-s.
It seems to support Linux now - although it’s marked beta.
