I was thinking about lerning web application through the creating the site
which will enable the users to upload, download and viewing the 3D models
created in 3DStudio, Maya etc. What do you think about idea ? Does make
sense ? Does something like that exist? Will viewing (zooming, rotating...)
works in web environment? I find with google only 3D viewer applets, but no
signs of web application, or I google with the wrong words ?

There have been a number of web pages using 3D with either VRML or X3D.
The advantage with those is that they are viewable with a simple browser
plug-in and are not tied to a vendor. There is also Java 3D which has a
plug-in.

In both cases, the 3D would be cross platform. With 3DStudio I don't
think there is an appropriate viewer for Linux users, and the same could
be true for Maya.
