ABSTRACT

This talk presents a way to export 3D scenes from Autodesk Maya directly to WebGL. This aims at simplifying the process of content creation for the new WebGL standard which is important for its wide adoption. A key insight is that Maya's dependency graph can be seen as a graphical programming language which is then translated to JavaScript and GLSL using Clang and LLVM. A public beta is online at
