I'm about to begin a web project, and I was looking for any good tool to make 3D scenes (animated scenes) in web. I have never seen any 3D scene (I mean, any animated scene) on web, but I know that they exists. Anyone with any suggestion? are there any good tool that execute fast graphics?? (you know that in web thats very important)

Shockwave seems to be the best bet for browser-based 3D applications. This was a 3D FPS for Shockwave, but sadly it seems to have gone down. A screenshot is here.

Wow seems very impresive, thanks for the info. I never heard of it, Do you know where I can find more about this tool?

You might want to look at. . .

Quest3D which can deploy over the web via a plugin. Off the top of my head it may be IE only, you will have to check. OTOH it meets the tool criteria you mentioned I think

Or, for free, there is an open source browser plugin (uses Ogre) that just came out very recently. I have not tried it yet. Note the site seems down ATM, but it looked impressive, and if I recall correctly, it plugs into multiple browsers. Down side is that it its probably 'a tool' like any game enigne is a tool - pretty decent programmers needed. Although, they say they are going to incorperate authoring

I have never deployed either over the web, but the basic engines are both on the fast side and full featured. It would seem to me that almost a bigger issue than engine speed would be how conent management will be handled. We know how patient web users are, and we would want to avoid downloads of large amounts of data for repeat visitors
Didn't WildTangent use to specialise in this kind of thing?

You can check out some of these games to see what shockwave can do.
Take a look here for more examples (3D focused and kept up to date):

Java Monkey Engine, Truevision3D, Power Render I think may support web.
