1) Virtus Walkthrough/Player
This is a widely available browser, however since it is
commercial, I doubt that the file specs are available for conversion. I
will enquire with Virtus about the possibility of adding a VRML browse
feature or just a converter; that wouldn't work 'live on the Net' but we
could at least see the scenes.
2) Gossamer 2.0
This is a viewer for Rend386 files. Since Rend386 is widely used
on PC's for VR work, I'm hoping someone will produce a Rend386<->VRML
converter. The file formats are 'similar' so it shouldn't be all that
much work.
