  • Anyone know how a beginner can do VRML without opening a text editor?

    From NightCat@21:4/141 to All on Thu May 4 01:38:32 2023
    So it started a short while back when I found out about VRML from a Vinesauce video exploring VRML stuff. This has given me so much awestruck and wonder I really wanted to build my own stuff in VRML but there's one problem:

    I have no clue how in sam hill to do this, and I need what room left in my memory for making websites via HTML because I can't find a way to get a copy of frontpage to run on modern operating systems or a windows 9x virtual machine.

    Is there a simpler way to make stuff with VRML via something similar to a frontpage equivalent for VRML? I have a lot of ideas for stuff I could do with a platform like this, but my energy for learning a system that mostly relies on being created via just typing has been taken up by HTML.

    Since you mentioned Front Page, I use a newer concept of that software call Microsoft Expressions Web 4. I works similar to FP, but has a lot of new features. You can download it by going to my main site at:
    http://hobbyline.com/WEB_TRIAL_EN.EXE

    It says that it is a trial, but it doesn't need to be registered. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. I use it daily to create web sites.

    Wow. VRML.. last time I saw it running was 1997 or so. I considered this technology is long time dead?

    Is there even a client that can render it correctly on modern computers?
    It'd be interesting to see how VRML performs on modern GPUs.. but honestly WebGL and WebGPU is the way I'd invest my time to create 3D stuff in a browser.

    ... Xerox Alto was the thing. Anything after we use is just a mere copy.

    The old '90s virtual reality markup language?
