Blender 2.42 Web Plugin pre-alpha

[Erwin Coumans]

Do you dare? Visit http://continuousphysics.com/Blender2.42Webplugin.html

Con:
win32 only, instable, crash prone, only tested with internet explorer, manual install (no signed .cab), might require closing internet explorer a few times before it actually works.

Pro:

Haha!

FINALLY!

I made a loading animation, just as an idea, maybe it is a bit heavy for normal use....

Hrmppp. I just realised that it doesn't work ok in 2.42 prereleases! I think its a bug already reported that a message sensor pulses two times...

Try in 2.41 to get the idea how it looks.

Runns fine in IE here.

It also runs while loading a new .blend, was that true for the old plugin as well? I would also like that functionality in .EXEs....

3rd post, I am so excited

So I loaded the activex for Firefox, what next to get it run in Firefox?

How are the chances to get a native Firefox plugin? I know Hans did some work on it but it seemed very complicated.

.... and download the IE Tab extension. Install it, then go to your plugin-in page and press the render as IE button in the toolbar.

You can filter it to automatically load that page as IE whenever you visit but i haven't tried it yet.

Python is probably sandboxed for security reasons, so no import of external modules. Also loading-screen is not working properly, so leave it empty.

Ah, ok, well. Thats not quite what I wanted to get activeX into FF. I guess I can then start a IE anyway (security wise).

I tried with the ActiveX-Extension for FF, with which I got the 2.25 plugin running inside FF. However not a very nice solution an it worked not on all computers I tested.

Hello, congratulations for your effort with the blender web plugin.. I had been testing some ideas with the old plugin in a corporative application, and when I found this new version, I tested it, but sadly it does not work in my system. the old version works, so I used the .bat to register the old ocx. The problem with the old plugin is that it does not support all the features of the latest blender version.. (example: it just shows color per vertex meshes once, and then they faces becomes white !!!) and for new users, the .cab feature is very important.

I know this is and old post. Can anyone tell me if this actually works with blender versions of the game engine other then that which came with blender version 2.42a?

I was wondering if the sources for the Blender Web Plugin were available anywhere? I'm interested in dusting this off and possibly maintaining it.

I have no idea where the source code is BUT if you do find it AND work on the webplugin please leave a pm for me here.

The original plugin sources are in Blender SVN, don't think erwin ever publically released what changes were needed to update it though.

If he doesn't answer here I'll email him about it for you.
