That meant a re-write of the distribution mechanism, and a probable yearly charge for the ability to give software away. > 1) Apple silently changed the methods we used to distribute FreeWRL for OSX. Step someone through building CVS HEAD for OSX: I've pulled this from the archives a couple of months ago John helped When he's available since he hasn't responded yet I assume he isn't Hi Jan - John, our resident OSX guy, usually responds in sort order > without them there would be no thought process at all. > Deadlines may impose an artificial thought process, but, Let us know if you have deep funding -a few hundred thousand- for the project and then someone will probably step forward to give you some commercial support. Perhaps someone should give commercial support for freewrl, to help fund polishing-up efforts and make it more user-centric. Opensource Blender is made for rendering stills and does OK at rendering video flythroughs, although it takes a while to get it set up. If you're just rendering a video flythrough then you need an authoring tool that's good at that. If not then a few lines of KML per model - I have some example kml/collada from a townsite project I did: I forget if it can place the models geographically.

Sketchup is pro quality, although free its not opensource, and generates collada 3D models. And for x3d scene authoring I've used VivatyStudio and White_Dune.Īnother approach to geographic projects: collada for the 3D models, and KML for the googleEarth placement.

It looked great - worth the $xxx,xxx the sponsor paid for the contract.įor hobby projects I've used Blender although I found I needed to hack on their x3d exporter - I don't know if that's better or worse these days.

Then we imported into parallelgraphics authoring tool ISA for animation. Unless you're also explaining how you authored, then someone in the audience will have used pro tools and pipe up saying directly to the other audience members you don't need to use opensource junk - there are pro tools.įor pro tools I've been in a commercial contract where artists were using maya to author geometry, and exporting to. There are others I haven't tried lately like Octaga and bitmanagement's version of contact, which I think have had commercial support.Īuthoring tools are less critical to presentation -not usually part of a presentation- so there's less need to go pro. So is cortona from parallelgraphics - they still sell their authoring tools. And that means it's buggy, quirky, and -if you're presenting to an audience of critics ready to tear you apart- you don't want your vrml browser to look unprofessional. That's because freewrl was never commercial, never user-centric. The last seminar I gave, I used Flux, even though I spent the last 4 years of my hobby time on freewrl. Within win32 there are more choices between browsers and tools. I'm a win32 guy so I'll comment on win32. Is this your sudbury town centre project? What things in the scene will be 3D? Will you be presenting your results and if so in a vrml browser, or as a video flythrough? > freeWRL?
