[X3D-Public] Server side rendering solution with code?

[Nicholas F. Polys]

Hi Tony~

good to hear you again!

You might consider using a normal rendering engine and shipping pixels 
with something like VirtualGL / TurboVNC; Sun took it pretty far before 
the AQ.

I am not sure exactly what libraries are used inside Paraview and Visit 
's remote rendering engines, but VT and the national labs are doing this 
for sci-vis and HPC workflows.

br,
