Re: [openvrml-develop] Is openvrml still developed?

Hi Dirk~

Yes indeed this codebase is actively developed. Our fearless and talented leader Braden has continued to improve on this
multi-platform codebase over many years and I consider it a strong dark horse in terms of open C++ toolkits... thanks everyone!


 Indeed the inclusion in Fedora and the new parser and X3D support shows this is a project with growing momentum. While X3D provides
some great new features, all over the world people are still innovating on and deploying VRML. My vrml from '98 still runs and
faster than ever! :->

We have just done a project here @ Virginia Tech running openVRML in our CAVE wrapped by the DIVERSE codebase... we are working on a
UI / interaction handler next.

Hope you continue your work on open standards!

best regards,
