Don't know if there's any relation, but Virtus VR (PC version, the app =
that came free with Pesce's VRML book) put out completely *grey* scenes; =
i.e., however it defined colors in VRML didn't work and was interpreted =
as uncolored by VRML browsers. I had to import it into Caligari's =
Fountain to recolor it and make it legal.

I suspect that Virtus has some misunderstandings of the VRML spec... =
what an unpleasant surprise that might turn out to be if you spend $400 =
for Walktmeough Pro 2.5!
I mentioned it to someone at Virtus about a month ago, and they have yet =
to reply.
