Comments on: Introducing Google’s O3D API – Browser Based 3D API http://blog.lroot.com/articles/introducing-googles-o3d-api-browser-based-3d-api/ Development News & Information Wed, 16 Feb 2011 09:23:32 -0800 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Rune http://blog.lroot.com/articles/introducing-googles-o3d-api-browser-based-3d-api/comment-page-1/#comment-19 Rune Sun, 26 Apr 2009 00:41:24 +0000 http://blog.lroot.com/?p=645#comment-19 Google's new API is interesting, but 3D content has been accessible from inside the web browser for years. For example, Cartoon Networks even made their fullblown MMO FusionFall as a 3D in-browser game with Unity. Also smaller indie game developers use Unity; for example games like Off-Road Velociraptor Safari and RC Laser Warrior. Curiously, Google's Beach Demo looks somewhat similar to Unity's older Tropical Paradise Demo: http://unity3d.com/gallery/live-demos/tropical-paradise But it will be interesting to see where things will be going with an open source project like this! Once it has matured a bit more, it will certainly have potential. Google’s new API is interesting, but 3D content has been accessible from inside the web browser for years.
