Re: [openvrml-develop] Making Lookat useful

[Nigel S. <ni...@ni...>]

Braden,

I'm very happy to hear that OpenVRML is heading towards a stable
status.  Speaking for myself, there are two major issues with
OpenVRML - handling of events to PROTO's (H-Anim) and examiner
viewing for lookat.  I think I'm probably qualified enough to
dig into the examiner issue, but the camera transformation scheme
wasn't clear to me whan I had a (quick) look recently.  Any clues
that can be offered here on the forum?

I'm more than happy to try a snapshot, whenever that becomes
advisable....

A mozilla plug-in is certainly attractive, but my feeling is that
compulsory dependency on extraneous libs is something to be warey of.
If I simply want to use OpenVRML as part of a 3D engine - do I need
to deal with xxx.so and yyy.so?  Cygwin? Win32?  So, if there is a
scheme that can optionally use, say, the mozilla tricks for doing
a mozilla plugin, that would be the ideal.

Boost, of course, is a good thing.(tm)
