There are only one or two that use 3dvia Player. Even so, those are the best ones, and we do hear a lot of "the game at Nick Jr won't initialize" and it is still mostly Nick Jr's fault. Notice the word "Player" Nick Jr made the game and 3dvia didn't. Yet, this is simply not the case when it comes to Linux. Our school laptops use Ubuntu, and while I prefer Windows, looking at the Wine example with Shape, it shouldn't be that hard to support it. Plus, look at all the users who want it! </p> http://www.3dvia.com/forums/topic/3dvia-player-for-linux#post-67418 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 18:32:55 +0000 kuligokm 67418@http://www.3dvia.com/forums/ <p>I would also like a linux port.

Schools are moving to Google Apps, Adope is dropping support for flash on mobile, and Microsoft appears to be giving up on Silverlight (as the march of open standards and HTML5 continues). . . . Very few people will take the time to create a forum account to let you know you should add support for Linux. Most will just begin considering 3dvia and the sites that use it as broken legacy web content.

Since I know quite a bit about 3d graphics I get a lot of questions about making their 3d images interactive so that they can publish a link with their scientific articles such that readers can view certain networks or protein structures in an interactive way. There are some free protein structure viewers, but they lack in flexibility and interactivity, which is why I think 3DVIA can be a great way for the scientific community to share ideas in 3d. The problem that a lot of scientists face now is that lots of them mainly, if not only, use Linux. I would greatly appreciate it if you could find a way to make this great tool work under Linux so that also the scientific community can start using it.

I am glad you feel this way.</p> <p>The tutorial I wrote is a solution only for technical experts who can spare 1 full day to install 3DVIA Shape on Linux. I cannot use this solution myself because it is too slow on my machine. However, some other user seemed to get good performances.</p> <p>Anyway, it shows mainly 2 things:<br /> 1/ The Linux port of your 3DVIA applications is possible thanks to Wine.<br /> 2/ The Linux port cost is low: a single developer managed a 1st draft over some nights and week-ends.</p> <p>I would like to point out a <a href="http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-May/047806.html">success story</a> that could inspire you. This is the story of Google working on improving Wine in order to release Picasa on Linux for a low cost.</p> <p>What I am trying to say is that you have all you need to support Linux. Now, I think that what blocks you is more a strategic decision than a technical difficulty. </p> http://www.3dvia.com/forums/topic/3dvia-player-for-linux#post-59111 Fri, 21 May 2010 12:49:33 +0000 jdelrio 59111@http://www.3dvia.com/forums/ <p>Now why would you fear censorship? &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.3dvia.com/forums/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>I love that blog and I love it when users help us develop a free 3D future &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.3dvia.com/forums/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; I will be spreading the joy of that blog internally and even a comment or two of my own!</p> <p>Thank you for all that hard work, if it was you that wrote that &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.3dvia.com/forums/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> <p>I also agree with your views, but my own personal opinion is that google has more engineers than artists, so they break technical ground faster, and we try to sort out the usability through the eye's of as many new to 3d people as we can &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.3dvia.com/forums/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif&quot; title=&quot;:)&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.3dvia.com/forums/topic/3dvia-player-for-linux#post-59096 Thu, 20 May 2010 17:36:00 +0000 eneuron 59096@http://www.3dvia.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>eneuron <a href="http://www.3dvia.com/forums/topic/3dvia-player-for-linux#post-59095">said</a>:</cite>Please find below the opinion of a humble developer and supporter of GNU/Linux.<br /> I strongly believe that your own success relies on full interoperability (e.g. Linux, Mac OS, Windows, and Chrome OS).<br /> Google has understood this for a long time: they delivered Chrome, Earth, Picasa, Sketcher, O3D, (etc.) on ALL platforms.
