Metastream, well, just look at their web page. I wouldn't want to rely on

that site to educate my audience on how to download and install the plug-in.


Metacreations had lots of knowledge about 3D, sure, but nada about

delivering browser plug-ins, and they have not learned from those who do.


They have an impressive list of 'partners' but no info regarding exactly

what software those partners are developing to create metastream content, so

you are left to go to the partner's sites and search around. I couldn't find

anything, grew frustrated, left.


They do have absoluty gorgeous rendering and limited

animation/interactivity. However, I don't think they have the ability to

sell their technology to the masses. I think we are still awaiting the best

solution to web3d.


Nemo does indeed look very good, _highly advanced interactive authoring_. If

they could get it to stream and reduce the system resource load a bit, it

might really take off.
