- A graphics pipeline for directtly rendering 3D scenes on web browsersPublication . Pinto, Edgar Marchiel; Gomes, Abel João PadrãoIn this dissertation we propose a graphics pipeline, in the form of aWeb3D graphics library, for directly rendering 3D scenes on web browsers. This open sourceWeb3D graphics library is called Glypher3D. It is entirely written in JavaScript (together with the HTML5 canvas element) and aims at enabling the creation, manipulation and rendering of 3D contents within a browser, without the need of installing any type of web browser plug-ins or add-ons (i.e. it does not take advantage of hardware acceleration), which is the main difference when compared to other Web3D technologies. As a library intended for the web environment, it was developed having in mind usability, therefore it is a simple and more intuitive way to deploy 3D contents on browser. Glypher3D can be used to enhance an web page, by allowing the creation of 3D logos, models, advertisements, among other purposes. Its a multi-platform library and works in the HTML5 canvas-compatible browsers like Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome.
