VRML is commonly used and for Web animation and it can be done with Java 1.1 viewers ( shout3d, blaxxun3d, anfy3d, or others ) or with either Java3d or the VRML plug-in Viewers.
Java3d requires Java 2 and Open GL or DirextX libaries and either Windows, Linux or another Unix and is not yet used widely as it most systems are not configured to run it without large downloads but if you're targeting people with it installed or willing to do the downloads it works fine now.
