Works great in my chromium ("Version 24.0.1312.56 Built on Ubuntu 12.04, running on elementary OS 0.2 (24.0.1312.56-0ubuntu0.12.04.1)")

I fear that three.js will be more or less obsolete with the rise of emscripten/asm.js which allows basically any 3D Engine there is to Run inside the browser. There is still some work todo in regards to quicker deployment but i wouldnt invest heavily in pure JS based engines right now as there will be tremendous leaps in this space (eg Unreal Engine3) in the coming months.

That being said, this is an awesome Tool!

Nothing much to add except, well, wow. You've clearly put a ton of work into making this great and fast. Random directions you could take this: level editor, interior design room layout, pop-up-book creator etc. The key is to get the UI right, which is a Hard Thing when it comes to translating 2D movements into 3D space.

Just want to be clear, I am not the developer behind this. I found this and was looking for discussion on HN about it because it was quite impressive. I wasn't able to find it by searching so I submitted it in hopes that it would take me to the past article (that is how the url duplicate detection code used to work), but instead it created a new story.

I wouldn't invest in JS.
