Introduction
Welcome to my 3D interactive VML (Vector Markup Language) page. Here you can find details on how to add interactive 3D objects to you Web page. First some examples:
-
The polygons page enables the loading and manipulating
of a selection of 3D polygons. The polygons are defined in XML and loaded on
demand by the browser.
-
Lights Out cube is a more advanced example and
emulators of the 3D version of the Lights Out game. In this example the
Lights Out cube polygons and the different puzzles are defined in XML. By
carefully defining of the polygon id's the need for a complex mapping from the
model to the data is avoided.

VML History
VML specifications for scalable vector graphics were created jointly by Autodesk Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Macromedia Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and Visio Corporation. Microsoft IE5 is currently the only browser that supports the VML standard. As VML is implemented as an extension to the DOM it's extremely programmable and flexible, this makes it possible to write JScript extensions to VML. As VML comes with the browser it requires no downloads or plug-ins and is accessible to a wide audience.
