Building VRML Worlds takes you through the process of designing and constructing VRML worlds for the Web. It addresses artistic and pragmatic concerns, helping you create easily navigable, intuitive, and attractive worlds without busting your user's bandwidth. It provides a well-rounded glimpse into today's VRML tools, including Paragraph's Virtual Home Space Builder, Caligari's Pioneer, and Virtus WalkThrough Pro, as well as Java tools such as DimensionX's Liquid Reality and Kinetix's Hyperwire, VR servers such as Tenet Network's VRServer, and 3D packages such as 3D Studio Max and Strata Studio Pro. A discussion of creating server-side and client-side apps helps non-programmers start thinking about writing CGI and Java scripts to enhance and run their animation. You also get a thorough glossary, and a hybrid CD includes demos of Pioneer, Studio Pro, VRServer, and other VRML-related apps.
