Hi all,
I am glad to announce that we have published a preliminary version of
our scriptable plugin for Firefox[1].
We are currently developing a Firefox plugin which shows 3D objects in
a web. It uses OpenSceneGraph to set up the render canvas. Moreover
the plugin also features scripting capacities based on NPAPI
technology that allow access to the plugin functions and variables
from web application itself.
Great to hear there is someone else who is going along this (tiring)
path...
I had the impression that web apps was a topic with little appealing in
this community:
maybe after Google Earth plugin,O3D, Unity and WebGL.... web 3d will be
considered even here....
Is your project going to be released on open source license?
In that case, I' ll be glad to cooperate.
We have worked on ffox plugin since quite a long time, mainly on
windows, as this platform is by far the most attractive for web browser
app,:
both for number of users as well as for ease of deployment (building
cross distrib linux binaries was quite difficult.... sic)
did not found an easy way of building distribution neutral linux
binaries.... and it seem even you got some problems, at least on my
amd64 kububtu 9, it does not seem to work... sic
Did you used npruntime for javascript wrapping?
When we started our www,virtualrome.it effort, npruntime was not
available, but now it seem the right way to go.
We run some experiment on Linux porting but not done scripting yet.
I see your plugin is running in the same process as FFox, this means
that a crash on the plugin crashes also FFx itself.
For this reason we are experimenting with separate process (a la Google
Earth plugin )
You can see example here:

click on Mostra 3d
click on Install [email protected]
<http://3d.cineca.it/storage/OSG4Web_test/downloads/Windows/[email protected]_0.0.1.3_.xpi>
click on Allow in upper right tab
click on "install now" in the extension popup
.... it should download the extension "OSG Viewer Firefox Plugin 0.0.1.3"
I think it would really be good to join effort on this topic.
On my side, I keep my work in a bazaar repo: if interested, check it out
doing
bzr checkout
