Quick3dApplet is a fast open source 3d engine that should be viewable on most browsers without the need to install a browser plugin (uses java 1.1). Quick3dApplet allows 3d content to be displayed on a website with small download times.

For example, the 'Quicknet' title above is drawn in realtime, it is not a GIF (or similar) file that necessitates downloading each displayed frame (large download time). Instead the frames are generated in realtime using 3d models of the letters.

Quick3dApplet is released under the GNU Lesser GPL. This means it can be freely used for commercial or non-commercial purposes - but you must make available any changes that you make to Quick3dApplet. Please read the file "COPYING" in the distribution.
