VRML and 3DS
10 messages in this thread
I know of a developer that has created a 3D Studio to VRML 1.0 IPAS
converter. The user interface is easy to use and the VRML code is
solid. He is looking for some VRML literate, WWW active beta testers.
If you feel that you qualify, please e-mail me your VRML
qualifications to pass on to the developer. E-mail only please.
Who developed the 3DS to VRML converter? InterChange does that, too…
Hi John,
<< who? >>
Brian Blau, Greg Finch and a few others at Adesk had development
responsibilities.

PMFJI cool VRML writer, isn't it? It produces VRMLs that don't crash! not
like many posted all over the place… there are a lot of bogus VRML files out
there so far.
I would like to encourage any 3DSers out there to check this out. It is a good
thing for 3D Studio. While I MUCH prefer 3DS to VRML (based on open inventor)
as a file spec, none-the-less VRML seems to be the choice for internet 3D
worlds these days. I for one feel this may change when viewers come out that
will support more than just VRML. Our new NAVFlyer ( with a great HELP
section, Sanford 🙂 should be available in the CDK section this week) supports
3DS, DXF and VRML and I hope those of you who are flying using other VRML
browsers will consider checking ours out as well. This way you can surf to
any internet site and fly not only VRML files there but also 3DS and DXF, just
downloading into the viewer, not to your hard drive, unless you choose to….
So Yosters….. where is the 3D Studio homepage with our multi world links?
yea I know Myopic vision for your monumental task of rewriting 3DS…can't
blame you for not getting to it yet, but if you (or anyone else) have any
interest in persueing it, I would like to volunteer some help from some of my
students here to pull it off. Our home page is under construction now and will
be at least one site to link to. Any others out there? Please let me know if
there are,
Thanks Angela
Hi Angela,
<< …. where is the 3D Studio homepage with our multi world links?.. >>
Maybe Nancy Fulton's (72040,166) www.opencad.com/Magic_Mirror will be one of
the first? You may want to cantact her regarding your VRML NavFlyer support.

Sorry it has taken so long to reply… I will email you asap…..
Glad to see some 3DS happening on a web site… we plan to hold create a
hopefully exciting place for 3DSers as well… I look forward to visiting
yours…
Anybody else out there?????

Hi Angela-
We're here lurking as usual. (g)
I just downloaded your new NAVflyer to work with VRML files. Thanks for
posting it for us. (BTW) Who do I contact for my upgrade? (ggg) I've got a
registered earlier version.
I'm sitting on a web connected 486-66 EISA compaq server running Win NTAS.
We've written about 6 HTML practice pages. Now we are trying to find time to
get the pages up and running on the server. I (and a couple of my graduate
students) are fascinated with the thought of running VRML. I saw Brian's post
about BETA testers for a 3DS to VRML IPAS, but I've felt too inexperienced to
apply. My grad student has been playing around a lot this summer with the CDK
and I've got a meeting with him this afternoon to see what he has done.
Can you or anyone out there give me some suggestions of where we might look to
get up and running as quickly as possible with a VRML server? (Sites for info,
code, etc.??)
Please keep working away!!! Your products are appreciated!

Homepage? Multi world links?
The only webs around here are the ones in my head. (no netting allowed until
we ship, kiddo)

Dear Jonas,
I would be interested in Beta testing the VRML IPAS.
