Today's Lab

You will do a VRML lab. 
<p>You can use the pages of examples I handed out, as well as any VRML tutorials you can find on the Internet. <a href="http://www.lighthouse3d.com/vrml/tutorial/">Here is a good one</a><br>
<h3>To Do</h3>
Make a VRML world and host it on your Esus account. 
<br>The world should:
<ul><li><b>Level 1</b> Should have a scene that makes sense. 
<ul><li>Use primitive objects together to make more complex objects, people, homes, etc.
<li>The objects should have color. 
</ul><li><b>Level 2</b> lights cameras action
<ul><li>Lights
<li>Maybe have more than one viewpoint. 
<li>Maybe have objects that can link to other worlds. 
<li>Textures
</ul>
<li><b>Level 3</b> Animation
<ul><li>Use Routes and sensors to animate items in your scene. 
</ul><li><b>Level 4</b> Use Advanced features.
<ul><li>Include textures and animate the texture. 
<li>Lighting movements
<li>Get carried away and spend way too much time on this. It can happen really easy. 
</ul></ul>
<p>
<h3>Hints:</h3>
All worlds need to start with the same line, like the examples I gave out all start with the same line: <br><blockquote><b>#VRML V2.0 utf8</b></blockquote><br>
All worlds have a .wrl extension. Create them in a text editor of choice and then save them with a .wrl extension. <br>
