it would be really nice to have a dynamic 3D rendering in the Browser like F4Map.

here is a comment on a german news site about the style: http://www.heise.de/open/news/foren/S-Re-Gebiete-mit-besserer-3D-Abdeckung-war-Re-3D-Modelle/forum-286258/msg-25886575/read/

would that better be an own project with all its logic implemented in client-side javascript?

This is something I've been thinking about a lot, and there are some unfinished plans regarding data transfer formats and so on in my virtual drawers. Of course, I would want to use as much as possible of the existing OSM2World code for this, so it would probably end up as a client-server architecture sending half-finished 3D models to the browser.

So I think this is going to happen, but as a relatively big project it is going to take some time.

great to hear :)
