Is there an opensource framework to allow real-time rendering of textured polygons? I want to display photo's in a 3d space. I don't need many polygons (less than 100, but the more the better, of course)
WebGL, looks awesome, and I can't wait for it be adopted, but I should mention that whatever framework needs to be available and working today

A:
Webkit's 3d transitions for CSS3 are hardware rendered on some browsers (Chrome, newer releases of Mobile Safari for the iOS) thus making 3d canvas animations also hardware accelerated (this is i think how Google gets it's scaling to work on the iOS).
This is not open source but it will get you 3d canvas and on certain platforms, awesome performance.

The 3d transistions appear to only really be supported in Safari. I see that chrome is suppose to support it, but the latest version (6.0.4.472.63) doesn't render them properly. For instance view this link in safari and chrome: http://webkit.org/blog-files/3d-transforms/morphing-cubes.html
