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 ?

Unless you want to somehow convert the 3D Models to VRML (sounds
difficult and painful), you're going to either need an applet to render
the
3D models, or a flash animation, or something similar (could it be done in
Ajax? Again, sounds difficult and painful).

But for the web app itself, it probably doesn't need to be aware of
the
fact that the files its managing are 3D models at all. You could get any
arbitrary generic CMS (Content Management System) which would allow users
to
upload files, and it would keep track of authors, number of downloads,
ratings, description, etc. stuff like that. You would just have to add a
tiny bit of code to link to your 3D viewing applet.

few 3Dstudio modelers ask me another question about 3D. They want to know
can I make the application (web or desktop, it doesn't matter) which allow
the user to "move it" through the 3D space which they make with the 3DStudio
(the family house, for example).
