Abstract: Hypermedia documents can be published using a computer system by recursively parsing a hypermedia document to identify at least one direct linked document and at least one nested linked document. The addresses for the hypermedia document, the direct linked document and the nested linked document are remapped and versions of the hypermedia document and the linked documents are stored in a directory at their remapped addresses. The directory then can be distributed to another location on a network. Alternatively, or in addition, the hypermedia document and a document linked to it can be processed (e.g., converted to standard formats) based on predefined criteria before versions of the documents are stored in the directory.

Abstract: Three-dimensional scenes or movies are generated by a user of a computer system by interactively selecting a stage from among several available 3D stages, each of which has at least one predetermined feature such as a pedestal, lighting characteristics, a camera path or the like. The user may import predefined 3D objects into the selected stage and move and resize the objects as desired to compose a scene. Once composed, the scene is rendered to generate an image or a series of successive scenes is rendered to generate an animated movie.
