Impressive performance and execution in the browser
From 3 comments
Impressive! It seems to be 90% of an online 3D CAD app that I've envisioned and blogged about: http://hacking-shindyapin.tumblr.com/tagged/3dCAD. Any plans on making it…
ph0rque on HNThat's really very impressive, I can imagine coming back to this as a rapid-sketch tool in a way that I never could with SketchUp. One suggestion: To aid camera/scene navigation,…
orls on HNSince you gave credit to even your operating system, the fact that that you leave out any canvas/webgl libraries probably means you didn't use any -- I'm superly impressed! Was…

Performance and browser freezing with many cubes or high smoothness
From 2 comments
It's nice to see that you can do stuff like this without plugins now thanks to Canvas and WebGL, even if the performance and stability aren't quite there yet. One particularly…
kevingadd on HN3DTin does use Web Workers. However the smoothing algorithms generate too much data if there are lot of cubes and/or the smoothness is high, that makes the tab/browser…

Opera not on supported list
From 3 comments
Opera is not listed among the supported browsers, but everything I tried works fine (version 11.00). Did you forget it, or does it actually have show stopping bugs?
bajsejohannes on HNI confirm this. Opera 11 on Linux (11.01 - 1160).
aw3c2 on HNYes, it should work find in Opera too (except Opera doesn't support WebGL, so it will use Canvas 2D, hence will be comparatively slower). It's not on supported list, because I…

Questions
Is smoothing done with marching cubes
From 1 comment
I think smoothing of ONE is just fine - Maybe you should just leave at that. Cool app :) - Lots to learn from it (using WebGL, etc.). Before looking in the source code - was…

I clicked the link, thinking, "Please be like Blender, please be like Blender". Then I clicked the link, found a cool voxel modeler, and was satisfied. To clarify... This is 3D…
