I always thought that the technology at WildTangent looked promising for 3D websites: http://www.wildtangent.com/default.asp?pageID=partners_dev
Admittedly they are for making games but when I worked with it several years ago I created 3D rooms to explore (in a webpage) with no particular game-like goal to them.

I'm a beginner in web design, and graphics. I'm in the process of learning a lot though, and hefty goals aren't new to me. I have the time and patience to learn what i need in order to make this happen.
My question is, is it possible to build a website that is completely 3D? For example, i want 3D objects to become links, and several aspects of the site would be animated. Probably nothing 2D, except for photos.. almost like an interface you would see in a video game that runs completely in realtime, but a website. I would like to model and animate everything by hand, from scratch.
I have looked into web3D technologies like Viewpoint, X3D, Shockwave3D etc.. Shockwave seems too simplistic in it's capabilities with reguards to geometry and such. Viewpoint and X3D seem interesting, but i can't get an answer from people as to whether they would serve my ideas.
Would i be able to use something like X3D to do this? Would there be limitations on animation possibilities? Will i need to learn opengl and direct3d programming? Even if i don't reach certain people with my site, for example people without directx/opengl compliant video cards, im willing to sacrifice that for the sake of experimentation and learning for the future.
Is this possible with any web3D technology(like X3D), and what would i need to learn in order to make it happen?
