Re: [Openvrml-develop] Looking down the road

[Michael L. <Mic...@hr...>]

OpenVRML works OK for crystal structures if you use a SphereSensor to =
control rotation in your VRML code.So for those of you that are =
desperate to examine your models with OpenVRML, then try this workaround =
(change the url "object,wrl" to your VRML file and adjust the scale =
values if necessary):

#VRML V2.0 utf8

NavigationInfo {
    type      "EXAMINE"
    headlight TRUE
}

DEF ExamineObject Group {
    children [
      DEF TheObject Transform {
        scale 1 1 1 # May need to adjust this
        children [
          Inline {
             url "object.wrl" # Add your own file here
          }
        ]
      }
      DEF Rotator SphereSensor {}
    ]
}

ROUTE Rotator.rotation_changed TO TheObject.rotation

Best wishes,

Michael.

p.s. Hope this doesn't lead to anyone putting off plans to implement =
real navigation modes in OpenVRML!
