I found some interesting software: Chisel, a VRML optimizer. It's free (PD) and written in Java. One could run any files through it to have them reduced. Of course, if Jmol can do it straight away, it's better. Description of the optimization methods matches what we have been discussing about DEF / USE. I've collated links and brief info into the Jmol Wiki > File formats > 3D Objects > VRML
This has also brougth another idea: to gzip the vrml file. Some viewers do not recognize the recommended extension, .vrz, but do read the file if it is gzipped but has wrl extension. Embedding wrz files into web pages seems to work fine. So, Bob, maybe the export dialog could offer a double option? .wrl (plain VRML v2) or .wrz (gzipped VRML v2) I am guessing that Jmol has the gzip algorithm embedded already, does it not? And I think we should change the current default extension of vrml to be wrl which seems to be more widely supported. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
