Hello, guys! Today we released the Oak3D API Reference in Chinese! We want to express our great thanks to HiWebGL.com for translating it.

HiWebGL.com is a chinese web site dedicated to the promotion of WebGL in China. We’re very glad to collaborate with them to expand our engine to more chinese developers. We wish Oak3D could help them to build their amazing Web3D demos.

If you prefer Chinese rather than English, please use this version.

At last, very welcome the chinese developers to try out Oak3D! We sincerely wish you enjoy it!

We’re glad to introduce a new Oak3D demo to you — Magic Cube. In some way, it’s our first complete gameplay demo.

In this demo, we directly move the Rubik’s Cube on web using the most cutting-edged web technology, including HTML5, WebGL. Benefited from Oak3D, it took us only 5 hours to finish the construction of the main function.
It’s not a big work, but has no lack of any fundamental element as other gaming experience, such like user register, players rank. We wish you could enjoy it, and via this demo to know more about the Oak3D project.

Hello, developers. We’re glad to annouce you a new great feature, that our online Model Viewer have already supported animation replay now. To have a try please follow the instructions below:

1. Dowload Oak3D Utility -> Oak Animation XML Exporter for 3dsMax. Remember to choose the one accrod with the same version of your 3dsMax.
2. Use Oak Animation XML Exporter to export your animation from 3dsMax. For detail, please check this tutorial.
3. Select the exported animation xml file in Model Viewer.

We sincerely hope this new feature could help you in your work. Enjoy it!
