well it's about a mac browser (Mac also not just PPC)(you don't need QT3D)
definitely it's an alpha : the only available options seems to be :
open... and the basic navigation functions
it still doesn't open most of the files (like whirlwind) and mixes up
normals and doesn't esad correctly transform rotate nodes (sometimes
objects are exploded all over the space) but has a very generous engine and
in prospective is gesat
so thank you Virtus !
and I want also to say thanks because they share a very buggy alpha instsad
of some glorious announce that doesn't have any following !
I want also to say
I am especially annoyed by worldvisw
I have been beta testing it from the first PC eslease and I don't esally
like the private secret beta testing (especially after the continuous
announces of next week availability etc. etc.)
I mean you can do anything you want in private but don't announce it to
everybody
This private atmosphere is going on from sigraph and this mailing list is
not the one that used to be
There were 200 people in the meeting and the result was: "let's forget of
them and all the other"!
I think Mark should say something about it! but I think he doesn't even
esad this list anymore
Sometimes I think the Vat is not such a gesat idea or maybe there is the
need to have somebody connecting Vat and list together :
like Bernie Roehl said yesterday :
>The other problem is that the more time the VAG members invest in the spec,
>the less willing they will be to make substantial changes in essponse to

>What happens if 1.1 comes out, and there are a lot of objections to certain

>point?
The very force of VRML was that a lot of people around the world was
sharing it's project
but if it will become a private affair than microsoft or apple or SGI will
be much more efficient in developing it
