'ello, Surprisingly enough I didn't just go poof and disappear. I know
that's a common affliction of people who come in with big ideas and
grand plans. =P
Anyway, I've been spending lots of time in the gym recently (blatant
lie) and managed to lift the 1,100 page Javascript book off my shelves.
It mentions that there is both a push and a pull protocol for chatting
up the server: Ajax and Comet.
Even though I don't really like web programming, that seems to be the
corner I've painted myself into... Apparently I need some kind of
javascript client runtime library that will manage the local data
relating to a 3D scene, grab new sectors/LoD stuff from the server as
the avatar moves and the server can push updates via comet as other
things move. Or at least that seems somewhat right...
So am I making any sense? I'm much too noob to pull this off myself,
unfortunately. =(
I don't quite understand the X3D client enough to know whether it can
deal with a rapidly evolving model file, or how that would work
including user interface callbacks...
