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:
LOD (level-of-detail) node and Collision.proxy are handled now. A KambiOctreeProperties extension has been added to specify octree limits. The shape octree was sped up by using mailboxes. Various workarounds for Mesa3d bugs (in particular on Intel GPUs) and Mesa detection have been improved. Various frustum culling optimizations. Small improvements in the view3dscene interface: blend status text, a shapes count fix, and keeping the selected triangle when transforming shape. The path tracer honors VRML >= 2.0 materials.
