Hm, not sure about the animation one. I had a rotating globe (texture mapped of
course) as a flag post on the Central London VRML I did and an Indy and Indigo2
could hardly cope with it. The Reality Engine 2 that SG gave us for the exhibition
was fine though.. This example used rotor nodes (inventor nodes - only working under
Webspace).
