view3dscene is a viewer for VRML 1.0, VRML 2.0 (aka VRML 97), 3DS, and MD3 files. It supports viewing the scene in the "Examine" mode and walking in the virtual world with features such as collision detection and gravity. Rendering is done using OpenGL. A built-in ray-tracer allows the generation of images with more effects (like shadows and mirrors) and conforming precisely to the VRML 97 lighting specification. The program can also convert files from 3DS and MD3 formats to VRML 1.0 and pretty-print VRML files. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: VRML 2.0 prototypes (both PROTO and EXTERNPROTO) are fully implemented now. VRML 2.0 light scope is correctly handled. ROUTE constructs are parsed. Default blending dest factor for view3dscene is GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA, since this is expected by most VRML authors. VRML files compressed by gzip are handled properly even if they have the normal .wrl extension. The --write-to-vrml option fixed. Handling of colors (color, colorPerVertex, colorIndex) for IndexedFaceSet and IndexedLineSet is done. NavigationInfo.speed is now handled correctly (it sets speed per second). Text3D extension was added.
