Sharing my web3D pain
Okay. Despite the current renaissance of VRML as web 3D I’ve tried every single option on the VRML/X3D plugin and browser detector page and none of them work on my Intel iMac running 10.4.11, depite tweaks, symlinks to newer dylibs than the old ones the stupid things are calling, and other hacks. Despite the claims on their websites, they either crash, fail to launch, or display the 2 simple models I have incorrectly. And none appear to work in any browser or - if they do - the method is far from clear. This all took about 2.5 hours of my time, because I simply wanted to demonstrate a project created in 2002. Not happy.
