Hi,

First I want to say hello to all. My name is Michael Pichler and I am
working on a port of the Harmony 3D Scene Viewer to VRML, here at
IICM, Graz, Austria.

Harmony is the UNIX-X11 client of Hyper-G. For more information look
into the Hyper-G server info.iicm.tu-graz.ac.at or into
http://info.iicm.tu-graz.ac.at/C~anonymous.

Now my questions:

Are there already interesting VRML scenes floating around, possibly
with links, multiple LOD...?

Are there (public) converters from other file formats available (to
import geometry data from e.g. Wavefront Objectfiles, Autocad DXF,
Inventor, OOGL, WTK/NFF etc.)?

greetings,

Michael Pichler
