I'd like to suggest that people take a look at http://svgopen.org/2010/papers/46-A_proposal_for_adding_declarative_drawing_to_SVG/index.html and the illustrations at http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/SVGOpen2010/replicate.htm It establishes a declarative syntax that allows the creation of a fairly rich set of 3D-esque objects. If one were to simply allow the replicated dimension to be a z-axis and then to consider the interopolation of sufficiently many objects, indeed, one would have collections of 3D objects. Consider joining such objects together at seams and one has a declarative syntax for what I think represents a fairly natural way of building objects. It is quite a different approach than begining with a triangular mesh of (x,y,z) points, but rather a triangular mesh (as well as shaders) could probably be derived from the resulting geometry. The approach is to sketch the geometry first and to consider shading as an artifact of gradients applied to cross-sections of a 3D object. Perhaps the suggestion will seem naive to those more deeply entrenched in the real world of 3D drawing, but it is a declarative markup and it is (largely) based on existing web standards. I see no reason that OpenGL meshes and shaders could not be derived from an <svg><replicate /></svg> framework. regards David ________________________________________ From: Johannes Behr [johannes.behr@igd.fraunhofer.de] Sent: Monday, June 11, 2012 12:42 PM To: public-d3d mlist Subject: [Dec3D] Conf Call Reminder + Agenda Hi, next Dec3D Conf call: Tomorrow, 12 Jun, 2012 - 8:00 AM Pacific (see the google calender for details: http://www.w3.org/community/declarative3d/wiki/Conference_calls) Agenda: 1) WWW2012 wrap-up 2) Community Group update 3) Siggraph planing Talk to you tomorrow Johannes -- Dr. Johannes Behr Abteilungsleiter Visual Computing System Technologies Fraunhofer-Institut für Graphische Datenverarbeitung IGD Fraunhoferstr. 5 | 64283 Darmstadt | Germany Tel +49 6151 155-510 | Fax +49 6151 155-196 johannes.behr@igd.fraunhofer.de | www.igd.fraunhofer.de
