VRML, short for Virtual Reality Modeling Lanugage. As opposed to the RL, or the Real World you and I live in...most of the time anyway ;-)
When I first visited a 3D "Gallery" on line many years ago on a friends PC I was hooked...and except for the small fact that my Old reliable Macintosh Quadra didn't have the horsepower to allow me to view any VRML worlds...I was ready to go.
Enter the purchase of a P4 and VRML worlds were mine to explore again! And I also wanted to have go at creating a world or two also.
Below are several worlds for you to explore. Many thanks to all who helped along the way.
Enjoy your visit, and stop by occasionally as more worlds will be added.
You need a VRML-plugin for your web browser to view the 3D model, instructions are below these world links:
Each world can be visited either in a multiuser chat mode or single user exploration mode.
