Welcome to my tutorials!
 You are hungry for VRML? You have no clue what
the VRML specification is talking about? You want to *l-earn* it from the ground up? Then dive right
in and let me help you learn the basics.
All the tutorials are original and tested. Please
look for the symbols at the beginning of each section, e.g. 'WV2' stands for WorldView2 and
'CP2' stands for CosmoPlayer2. I focus on these VRML browsers mainly because I am too lazy
to check other ones.
All you need to start is a copy of the
VRML specification, a text editor (SitePad), and of course a VRML plugin
(WorldView or
CosmoPlayer). Have fun and let
me know whether you liked it.
If you are looking for literature I can recommend a few books to you:
The VRML 2.0 Sourcebook is the
Bible of VRML. All the nodes are explained with samples and the hypertext version is very useful.
Late Night Vrml 2.0 with Java
is the book of choice if you want to get into Java scripting. If you don't like the very technical VRML2.0
specification you might want to check out The Annotated VRML 2.0 Reference Manual.
This book explains all nodes in great detail.
A spartan version of
the tutorials (58 kb) can be downloaded for offline learning.
