Buggy code from Yumetech in the "New" X3D Loaders have been generating lots of problem reports, more than I've ever seen from the code developed from within Sun:

I'm just happy that some at the University of Stuttgart's
Institut für Visualisierung und Interaktive Systeme
finally figured out how to get 3d on the web:

| LiveGraphics3D is a Java applet written by

| LiveGraphics3D allows 3D solids created by Mathematica
| to be rotated interactively right in the middle of an

Have you met Martin ? Could you get his autograph ?
You can animate Web3d.org's VRML based Avatars
with in a browser with the Sun VRML Loaders
if you ignore the false and fraudulent of claims
of Yumetech's Justin Couch and the publisher of
unreliable drivel: Prentice-Hall.

without the bother and risk of installing binary excutable loaders.
Great News for everyon interested in
3d that works on the web:
