This version I added faces and backface culling. Unfortunately to achieve this I decided to switch to a Vertex model format *.vtx
This is mostly because it uses the standard triangles for the model instead of box modelling and the format is simpler.

Anim8or allows the export of *.vtx models Object -> Export then selct Vertex (*.vtx).

Drag your mouse over the model to manually rotate it.

Zoom

Upload *.vtx 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 - DONE
• Support for more file types: *.obj, *.x, *.mdl ... etc
• Use Node.js instead of PHP to extract model data
• Create a Battlezone Game - nearly complete
• Shadows????
