Ooo that's where I might of ended up working then ;-) A few years back I had a peculiar invite from google's HR for me to apply for a job, but without any actual job description.... never followed it up, too happy living somewhere as beautiful as the Trossachs, but hey Boulder ain't too far from the mountains so perhaps it wouldn't been too much of hardship :-) > Given the long history of failed 3D web standards, I don't envy anyone > working on this project.

It's interesting that they have gone for a lower level API centric approach rather than a something based on a database format. But if it's so low level then why not just role your own plugin... If one did expose something as powerful as the OSG with JavaScript it would be an interesting comparison. Both API centric, but one with lots of art part support, threading, lots of high level effects etc, but relatively big and complex with it and the other well... none of those things.
