I recently was taking a Node.js course and became...side-tracked.
I decided to re-visit a program I made several years ago allowing an Anim8or 3D model to be imported and displayed in the browser.
I am a better programmer now and have a better grasp of the math so,...this works considerably better however it still only imports a single mesh.

Drag your mouse over the model to manually rotate it.

Zoom

Upload *.an8 files using the form:

1. Click "Choose File"
2. Select a file from your local machines file system.

Here are a few sample models for demonstration purposes.
Right-click and Save-As or your browser will simply open them as text files.

• Cube
• Tetrahedron
• Icosphere
• Anim8or Hello World Bird
• Battlezone Tank
• The Utah Teapot

To Do

• Add faces to polygons with backface culling
• Support for more file types: *.obj, *.x, *.mdl ... etc
• Use Node.js instead of PHP to extract model data
• Create a Battlezone Game
• Shadows????
