Displaying 3D models is an obvious and useful one! I wonder if the rendering speed is useful. (The Firefox 3 and 3.5 SVG renderer is usably accurate, but *really slow*.) We'd probably need a server-side renderer to drop back to. But yeah, that's a use for this. - d. _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
