Re: [JAVA3D] ? VRML Editors and VRML Reduction ?

Hi Mario,   if by "you can modify VRML objects" you mean 'in-real-time', you may want to use CosmoWorlds (publicly unavailable for PC) from SGI, or the various softwares from ParallelGraphics http://www.parallelgraphics.com/products/ -VRMLPad (great VRML code editor - not real-time) -Internet Model Optimizer -Internet Scene Assembler -Internet Space Builder you also have Spazz3D as an inexpensive software   also http://www4.tpg.com.au/users/gperrett/seamless3d/index.html which in fact i haven't tried yet   interesting list of VRML EDITORS http://www.3dgate.com/magazine/2000/0208/resslerlisting.html   some other tools http://hiwaay.net/~crispen/vrml/tools.html     http://www.3dreducer.com/   http://philliphansel.com/tools/non_vrml_tools.htm     regards,   Marcelo Scotti   PD:  if you want to get a copy from the dissapeared CosmoWorlds 2.0, just tell me   PD2:  as far as i remember, 3DStudioMax (which in fact has VRML exporting capabilities) lets you chisel polygons when exporting     ----- Original Message ----- From: ZACZEK, MARIUSZ P.

Hi,   Does anyone know of FREE/INEXPENSIVE  VRML Editors...where you can modify VRML objects. I know some/most CAD programs   can export into VRML but how about once you have a VRML and you'd like to edit it.     Also, has anyone found any polygon reduction programs that actually work and are also FREE??? ...and that work with VRML files?   I know of one like "Rational Reducer" but it is very expensive...the problem I have is that I have the space station models in VRML   which have a lot of polygons and are very detailed....this (I believe) slows down my scene...so I'd like to reduce them and have better   animations in my code.   thanks,      Mario Mariusz Zaczek NASA - Johnson Space Center Automated Vehicles and Orbit Analysis / DM35 Flight Design and Dynamics Division Mission Operations Directorate Bldg: 30A     Room: 3048B Disclaimer: "The opinions, observations and comments expressed in my email                    are strictly my own and do not necessarily reflect those of NASA."
