Once I get some 3D models of knots created, is there a way to let the user explore them, in-browser? Preferably they would be able to interactively control the rotation.
things that display 3D models from a file
yes, it's minimally possible
- [[WebGL]]
- [[VRML]] ⇒ [[X3D]]
- [[O3D]]
THere are LOTS of code that produces semi-3D drawings on top of the 2D canvas element. This is all I really need, I really don't need heavy-duty 3D rendering.
WebGL
