I like the pitch and the objectives stated here. The monthly funding model is a good fit for this sort of thing where users will want ongoing maintenance and improvement for their middleware.

Demo doesn't work well in Firefox (latest, Developer Edition) on Win8.1 x64, though. Z-buffering looks totally busted and the framerate is bad.

Thanks! We thought long and hard about how to fund the whole thing, and open sourcing + ongoing funding ended up looking like the best solution indeed.

That's quite the weird rendering bug. Everything works fine here in Firefox stable (tested on both Windows 7 and 8.1). Probably a driver issue of some sort? We're really not doing anything fancy, just using the default basic mesh material of Three.js and simple meshes.
