Virtual Reality Modeling
Language Worlds

Whoa!  If you want to view the VRML worlds shown below you will need a VRML plug-in for your browser. The VRML worlds available here were tested using the Cosmo player plug-in with both Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Communicator 4.01a.

OK, now here are some VRML worlds I have assembled.

Tips

• If you ever get stuck navigating in a VRML world, try turning off Collision Detection by deselection of the relevant item on the menu invoked by a right mouse click.
• Again by use of the right click menu you may wish to turn off the Headlight as this tends to "white-out" colours and textures.
• The VRML worlds available below use graphics from my home page and so a local copy on your hard drive may not look the same.

VRML 1.0 Worlds
atlas1.wrl Although this is VRML 1.0 and not 2.0, it uses the Level of Detail (LOD) node as a cheat to make the globe rotate as you approach it. This world should be a snip to download at around 40 Kbytes including the textures!
sphinx1.wrl A simple cube with some cool texture maps taken from photos of a sphinx statue in Chiswick Park, London. With all the textures, this world is just over 70 Kbytes. Although the cube will appear immediately, the textures will take a while to download. So be patient! Click here to view four photos taken in Chiswick Park - you don't need a VRML plug-in for these.
world1.wrl A rather large world at over 333 Kbytes containing many things including trees and a simple house. This world is also available as a downloadable zip file, which includes the VRML world and the graphics it uses. Click on world1_wrl.zip (106 Kb) to download. Then unzip all the files into the same directory and double-click on the world1.wrl file.
