| WireFusion supports the Open ISO
3D Standards X3D and VRML2 (VRML97). X3D and VRML
are 3D file formats for describing interactive
3D objects and worlds. X3D and VRML are designed
to be used on the Internet, intranets, and on
local client systems. A very brief description
of how X3D and VRML work would be to say that
the formats consist of a set of nodes, where the
nodes are the fundamental components of the 3D
file. Nodes are abstractions of various real-world
objects and concepts. Examples include spheres,
lights, and material descriptions. Nodes contain
fields and events and messages may be sent between
nodes along routes.
Note: You need no knowledge about X3D
or VRML in order to use or create 3D contents
for WireFusion, you only need to know how to export
to X3D and VRML from your 3D authoring tool. For
those who are interested to know more about X3D
and VRML, please visit the Web3D
Consortium.
The X3D and VRML support in WireFusion is not
complete. The nodes supported are a subset of
the nodes found in X3D and VRML.
