Java is probably the best route for realtime model rendering on the web. The challenge would be to write a rendering engine that quickly processes large model files (as opposed to most current renderers which take a while if the part count is large).

Yes, I agree, however you expect larger files to take longer. I would tend towards a low-quality image, as it’s targetted at screen viewing, that would speed things up a little. I think Michael’s MLcad renderer is fairly fast, a Java version of that might get reasonable speed, and I think would be good enough quality for such a tool.
