view3dscene is a browser for VRML (1.0 and 2.0)and X3D, and a viewer for other 3D model formats(3DS, MD3, Wavefront OBJ, and Collada arehandled). It supports viewing the scene in the"Examine" mode and walking in the virtual worldwith features such as collision detection andgravity. Rendering is done using OpenGL. Abuilt-in ray-tracer allows the generation ofimages with more effects (like shadows andmirrors) and conforming precisely to the VRML 97lighting specification. The program can alsoconvert files from 3DS, MD3, and other formats toVRML and pretty-print VRML files.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
Scripting (in the KambiScript language) is implemented. Animating a camera by animating the Viewpoint position works. To improve navigation in scripted worlds, navigation type = "NONE" and speed = "0" are supported. Quaternions are used for EXAMINE navigation, which gives much more natural rotations when dragging with a mouse.
