You will do a VRML lab, due the Thursday after Thanksgiving, the 29th of November.

First

I will not be in the lab today, if you need me I should be back around 1pm or you can catch me tomorrow all day. I'm doing a software demo for Homeland Security......do you feel secure?

VRML Lab

You can use the examples I have linked here, it's a zipped file with several worlds Click Here. There's a readme file that does a little explanation of each file, my lecture notes from yesterday as well as any VRML tutorials you can find on the Internet. Here is a good one

To Do

• Level 1 Should have a scene that makes sense.
  • Use primitive objects together to make more complex objects, people, homes, etc.
  • The objects should have color.
• Level 2
  • Include level 1+ criteria and.....
  • Use more than one viewpoint.
  • Have objects that can link to other worlds.
• Level 3 lights cameras action
  • Include level 2+ criteria and.....
  • add lights
  • Add some materials properties.
  • Add a texture or two.
• Level 4
  • Include all criteria in level 3+
  • Use Routes and sensors to animate items in your scene.

  • Get carried away and spend way too much time on this, basically fail another class because you spent too much time on your VRML lab.
