My question is this -- I'd really like to support playback of
arbitrary 3D animations. Is there any sort of standard 3D
animation format that includes plugins for all 3 platforms that
would work via the HTMLViewer control? In other words, is there
any sort of 3DMF-like file format which includes not only model &
texture definitions, but animation scripting as well?
Unfortunately everyone and their grandma claims to have a "standard"
3D format. The buzz nowadays seem to revolve around FBX, X3D (the
successor to VRML), and Collada. I've never dealt directly with any
of those formats so I can't offer much more insight, but they're all
relatively young and I don't think you'll find robust cross-platform
browser/RB plugins for any of them.
