VRML 2.0 Information

• VRML Viewing Tips
• VRML 2.0 General Information
• Documentation
  • A good source of documentation for the VRML 2.0 specification can be found in the following way. Go to http://vrml.sgi.com/develop/ , click on "Specifications" on the left hand column, click on "VRML2.0 - Moving Worlds Spec" on the right hand side of the screen, and then click on "The VRML 2.0 Specification" link. The information on nodes is particularly useful.
  • A nice step-by-step tutorial of VRML 2.0 from SIGGRAPH 96 can be found at http://www.sdsc.edu/siggraph96vrml/course/toc.htm.
  • A number of examples can be found at http://www.wiley.com/compbooks/vrml2sbk/toc/toc.htm and are a good reference for basic 3D transformations.
  • Class tutorial from 2/20/97 - Slides and Examples.
