No, that is not browser based, and AFAIK doesn't allow simple drawing .. but is a more traditional polygon modeller. Albeit probably the most simple to use. I happened to come across one I saw earlier now again, when was going thru Chrome app catalog: http://www.3dtin.com/ (is the app directly, you can just paint in 3d there .. volumetric minecraft style, but in a paint app, not in first person build mode like in minecraft). Supports saving to .obj so can be used to author rex scenes as is -- integration might be fun. The chrome web store page has basic info, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/algoakekcdmbbikdjgjdahbfihboglmi?hl=en-US# ---copy--- 3DTin is a 3D Modeler that runs in your browser. You can .. * design models by placing cubes of different colors on top of each other. * save your artwork in cloud. Login with your gmail ID. * make realistic models by applying "Smoothing" tool on your Voxel art * export models in standard 3D file formats (OBJ, STL) and use them for 3D printing or import in other CAD tools. * run some preliminary checks to prepare your model for 3D printing (Manifold violations) 3DTin can use WebGL for faster rendering if available, otherwise it falls back to HTML5 Canvas. ---end--- > Matthew Fulmer (a.k.a.
