Quote - You know, Renderosity would be GREATLY served if they incorporated a 3D object viewer into their product descriptions.
Unless there is a different method of doing this that involves doing the render of the image completely on the server side, the common way of providing what you're talking about is to actually send the geometry to the client (in this case the person browsing the market) and rendering it on the client side. Inevitably, someone will find the details of how the geometry is being transferred and strip it out, and pirate the geometry/textures. Cf. Second Life for a popular example. I hope Rendo does NOT do this. If there are screenshots that you feel are not representative of particular products, the fix is to complain about those misrepresenting screenshots.
Quote - Even a short youtube clip or even an animated gif of the product's lit wireframe revolving would be greatly appreciated.
That's a good alternative.
