------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: 13. VRML AUTHORING TOOLS and WEB3D REPOSITORY ------------------------------------------------------------------- TIME: no time limit; visit this site *after* this class is over if you'd like. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Hand-coding VRML content is tedious, error prone, and time consuming. To really make VRML content that shines you should turn to an authoring tool. Spazz3D is an excellent low-cost VRML authoring tool with which you can create some impressive content "out of the box". Other more sophisticated tools are also available. Take a quick spin by the "Web3D Repository" (available from the home page of the Web3D Consortium) to see the wide variety of VRML and other Web3D authoring tools available to the potential content author. Note that this isn't all of the tools, just a portion of them. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Aaron E.
