I'm more enthusiastic about Shockwave 3D then I was just about 6 months ago.
Web-based 3D penetration doesn't seem to have changed much within the last
few months, but it seems that Shockwave 3D is emerging the de-facto standard
(with notable competition from WildTangent)... I'm just curious if these
Flash real-time 3D engines will ever catch up with Shockwave 3D.
