Abstract

Delivering high quality 3D content through a web browser is still a challenge especially when intellectual property (IP) protection is necessary. Thus, the transfer of 3D modeling information to a client should be avoided. In our work we present a solution to this problem by introducing a server-side rendering framework. Only images are transferred to the client, the actual 3D content is not delivered. By providing simple proxy geometry it is still possible to provide direct interaction on the client.

Our framework incorporates the Generative Modeling Language (GML) for the description and rendering of generative content. It is then possible to not only interact with the 3D content, but to modify the actual shape within the possibilities of the generative content. By introducing a control layer and encapsulating processing and rendering of the generative content in a so called GML Rendering Unit (GRU) it is possible to provide a scalable rendering framework.
