CompuServe Messages

Hi Kerwin, The site with the most comprehensive list of VRML sites that I've found is: http://www.paperinc.com/architec.html This page has a lot of interesting links that will take you quite a while to check out. I haven't really found a viewer that I'm happy with yet, altho' I'm still fooling around with a bunch. You could even try downloading VISCIS, the virtual viewer for Compuserve, tho it's not VRML as such. I'm fiddling with WebFX, the CDK Navflyer (from Microngreen), and Homespace Builder at the moment. I don't have the CDK, so I've been looking for ways to create worlds without paying money up front (virtual cheapness, buying 3DS blew the budget), that's one reason why I like the VRML.PXP program, since it links to 3D Studio, which will hopefully negate any need for another modelling program. Your center in Minneapolis sounds interesting. I think VRML has a great potential for allowing architectural and engineering clients to view their projects on their own, at their own convenience and location, or in collaboration with the arch/eng's,. And when we can go surfing through the cable t.v. bandwidth, this field will really explode. Right now everything I've seen, even running locally on my hard drive, seems pathetically slow, but then I'm nuts for fast computer visuals. If you're going to run any of this stuff under Windows 3.1 you'll need to upgrade with WIN32S and WinG if you haven't already. If you're on any other platform I can't help other than in principle. <g> Anyway, that's about it for now. If you have any other questions, or need some help, let me know. Any wild discoveries on your part or mine would be nice to be shared… Although it would be preferable IMHO to keep this thread going in this forum, I don't check my Compuserve account as often as my Internet account, so if you had anything time-sensitive or private you could also e-mail me at: Gary_Sim@mindlink.bc.ca I hope to have a VRML web site up there in the next few weeks, as part of my home page design project in the works. Bye from Vancouver, Canada, Gary
