Short for "Web Graphics Library" this is a JavaScript API that allows one to make 3D graphics inside of a canvas tag in HTML. The spinning cube here would be an example. This offers that "applications that export to OBJ are 3ds Max, EIAS, Lightwave, Maya, Modo and Solidworks" wherein a Wavefront .obj (probably short for "object") is the format that you'll use for this stuff. Basically one would build in 3ds Max, EIAS, Lightwave, Maya, Modo or Solidworks and then export to the .obj format to get their stuff into WebGL. (3ds Max is a renaming of 3D Studio Max, a sequel of sorts to a DOS program that was just called 3D Studio, while EIAS stands for Electric Image Animation System and is pronounced alias.) Note: No mention of MetaCreations Bryce. LOL (acronym: laugh out loud)
