Okay, I’ve put together a simple place-holder webpage for my 3d starcharts.
[url=http://www.flamegrape.com/3dstarmap/]http://www.flamegrape.com/3dstarmap/[/url]

It’s not very eye-catching. It just shows an image of the 3d model as seen in my copy of 3d Studio Max. None of the stars are labeled. The lines between some of the stars represent the shortest distances between them. Sol is somewhere in the middle.

I’m still thinking about the GUI for such a web-based 3-D starmap. I was thinking about replicating Seven’s astrometric’s lab (and call it “Seven’s Atlas of Sector 001”), but I didn’t want to limit it to just the [i]Star Trek[/i] genre.
