[X4U] Making VRML files in Mac OSX

[John Richardson]

Hello,

Start at www.macweb3d.org. Pay attention to the SimVRML link. Cortona is the
only commercial viewer and is made by the Russians. The Germans (Blaxxun)
have some sort of Applet.

Then go to www.web3d.org and you will eventually find all the stuff on
macweb3d.org plus comments that you are living in the past and really need
to graduate to X3D. X3D viewers on the Mac need Java3D. There are references
on this site.

So, now you need to create VRML. Use the free stuff (www.blender.org) or use
a commercial modeler. The best are Carrara, Amapi and Lightwave for VRML
export (blender also ranks as a best exporter).

The only Mac OS X VRML only authoring tool is AxelEdge from mine Avenue. If
you use Boot Camp, the BEST VRML and X3D authoring tool is VizX3D under
WindowsXP. VRML authoring is for people that need to create dynamic and
simulation compatible VRML scenes. Buy "Core Web3D". I forget the authors
name.

Does any software exist for making VRML files on Mac OSX?

Does any software exist for making VRML files on Mac OSX from
sets of (x,y,z) data?

How does one view VRML files on Mac OSX?
