I am looking at rendering a 3D model in a browser. What tools should I use/what places should I look at?
I don't know what data format the model will be, I can likely request that data to formatted in any way I want.
I am looking at three.js but it seems that it needs WebGL to work, which appears to be unsupported in IE.
Does a "cross-browser compatible HTML 3d rendering engine" exists? :)
The answer is: Yes, we can. HTML5 offers a 3D library called WebGL - it stands for a web graphics library.
js is a library that we can use to render 3D graphics in the browser. The whole thing is in JavaScript, so with some logic you can add animation, interaction, or even turn it into a game. In this tutorial, we will go through a very simple example.
I have not played with 3D yet, but I know a good place for ressources on 3D for HTML5.

And here is a tutorial on how to create your 3D models with the Three.js
Framework.
