Abstract

This paper focuses on manners of filling the gaps in existing standards that are used in tridimensional Web technologies. We proposed the way of encoding huge 3D data sets in lossless PNG format and use of programmable rendering pipeline to decoding PNG file. It allows to reduce significantly the file with 3D data, time of transmission via Web and time needed to decode the file.
