I also noted that the z-ordering of polygons done by jmol has issues
close to where triangles meet.
Being able to generate 2d vector graphics for 3d graphics objects
would be nice.
Is there a roadmap for the future of 3d graphics on Sage? Having
something hardware accelerated would be nice with today's hardware
capabilities. Or are we just waiting for realtime raytracing to be
common place?
Of course, jmol has been playing a central role in 3d graphics in Sage,
so that is a clear part of the roadmap.
Also, I have been working yesterday and today on understanding webgl
better and playing with implementing x3dom [1] in Sage as another 3d
graphics viewer (since we can already generate x3d files). I'm not very
successful (it seems that there are problems including an x3d inline
reference in various beta-level browsers using the beta-level library
x3dom, with my alpha-level understanding of x3d), though I have at times
had a webgl figure up and working in the sage notebook.
Carl Witty also worked for a bit on a webgl backend, and mentioned
exploring using SceneJS to do rendering.
Thanks,
