my name is Oliver Grau. I'm working at the university of Hannover (Germany)
on the automatic modeling of three-dimensional objects from images.
We produce 3D models as polygonal or triangular meshes and map texture
on them from the original input images. So what i need is explicit texture
mapping.
This feature is not supported in VRML 1.0 !
What we need is the additional node TextureCoordinateBinding.
At the CeBIT'95 we want to show some of our models. We hacked a tool named
VRML-Leotool which has some of the VRML features. It runs on a
SUN SPARC20 with the SX graphics adapter and textures are quite quick.
I will announce some more infos on that toppic (there a lot to do now...).
At the moment i assume PER_VERTEX mapping.
Oliver
