Very nice. We do something similar, but with a production quality raytracer (V-Ray) in the browser:

Well, technically on a remote server that streams in.

This is really interesting and fast-ish. Who is the target audience for this though? Is there a bridge to 3D apps and you are a render farm or what? I can't imagine a scenario where everything is online in a browser?

Everything is online in the browser with Clara.io - modeling, animation, rendering, sharing, etc. Just sign up and try it.

I will! I was wondering what's the use case? Same as any desktop 3d app but in browser? Was wondering, because in most studios I've been at you can't even access internet from workstations you work on.

that's awesome! Love the idea of letting people choose between an image, lower fidelity image, and V-Ray stream.

Working on some web based VR stuff - would love to hear your thoughts: http://www.insitevr.com/

Neat stuff. We have an SDK that allows you to use our V-Ray rendering and our WebGL embeds in your own applications. We even license our full code base. Might be a solution to move your stuff ahead faster and also share our render farm.

E.g.: http://exocortex.github.io/apple-watch/

We will have VR support soon too as many people are requesting it. And we could collaborate on improving our import support: Sketchup, Rhino, etc.

Seriously, we should work together. :)
