Does anyone remember that mid-2000s, 3D competitor to Flash? i think the name started with A like Ankh or something like that but I could be wildly off. It had an IDE and basically ran as a plugin in the browser. It died a quiet death.
This site kinda sorta reminds me of that.
Forget what it's called - if someone does, please post more info!
- Oia20 2y agoNot Adobe shockwave, right?
- bnetd 2y agoNo, this was a completely different, but competing product. the IDE was intended for, to some extent, simple 3D modeling/importing of 3D models, and you could launch a browser instance to see the output.
- neogodless 2y agoDidn't Microsoft have something like that? Sketchflow?
- noduerme 2y agoMicrosoft had Silverlight, which was a competing platform with Flash.
- foota 2y agoMaybe one of these? https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/297894-good-3d-browser-based-game-engine/ https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/297894-good-3d-browser-... Your description also made me think of babylon js, but that was later. Also maybe java applets?
- matsemann 2y agoWhat about 3D Anarchy, later bought becoming Adobe Atmosphere? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Atmosphere https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Atmosphere

- dieselgate 2y ago“A frame” was one but likely not what you mean
- meiraleal 2y agoWasn't it VRML or maybe some tool that generated VRML? What I found with A that generated VRML was 'Avocado'

- bnetd 2y agoMore than likely this is it. Well done Bruce! Any insider info on it?
- thebruce87m 2y agoNone from me - I had never heard of it, thought I’d have a look and got lucky!
