Exporting 3D Scenes from Maya to WebGL Using Clang and LLVM

Google Tech Talk (more info below) November 17, 2011 Presented by Jochen Wilhelmy ABSTRACT This talk presents a way to export 3D scenes from Autodesk Maya directly to WebGL. This aims at simplifying the process of content creation for the new WebGL standard which is important for its wide adoption. A key insight is that Maya's dependency graph can be seen as a graphical programming language which is then translated to JavaScript and GLSL using Clang and LLVM. A public beta is online at http://www.inka3d.com/ . Note that the frame rate of the slides and demos in the video is poor due to technical issues.
