3d game on your browser, but you will need the O3D Plugin from google http://code.google.com/apis/o3d/ (http://code.google.com/apis/o3d/)

( works well with Chrome- everybody must be using chrome ...if your not then get it!! ... Its getting better and better all the time!! )

What is intriguing me, is the fact that you may be able to post 3d content onto the site, to be seen  with your
browser  ie: interactive 3D  wicked

As a finale to this post, first make sure you have the O3D plugin installed in your browser, then goto the link below
click in the frame once your man appears then move him about with the arrow keys....   moving the mouse while he is stationary will make him do a little dance , spacebar makes him jump.

So, Kevin, did you make that little dancing robot? and was all the set-work done with anim8or, or.... what?

No, These are O3D demonstrations,  but the models can be done with anim8or, then they would have to be exported to 3DS or obj format then to Collada ( Carrara should be able to do that!) to be inserted into the O3D convertor program.

here is another demo just a teapot ...... Don`t forget the 03D plugin must be installed on your browser

Hm, another 3d browser plugin, this time from Google Labs. Looks like it's fleshing out pretty well, and I do like how javascript is its primary scripting language.

There's also papervision3d at http://blog.papervision3d.org/ that uses only flash for making interactive 3d content, and other commercial browser-based engines like Unity3D and Shiva that make it easier for newbies to get 3d content on browsers.

Regardless, these engines/frameworks are great for portfolio websites :)
