Hi all,

Just an hint for who think in future to make new scripts, you can start explore more now the VRML2 transformation capabilities that the 3d-viewer/VRML2 offer. (tranlation, scale, rotation, def/use groups, def/use materials, .etc)
It means that simpler scripts can be developed and not use (so much) coord/triangles/indexes...

The VRML2 language (not 3d-viewer right now) supports also simple shapes like boxes, cylinders,spheres.. so I believe in future it could be used as an embedded script language for users make their own 3d models by following some simple tutorials they can easily create "dummy" 3d models.

Pretty close, but for old library format and Perl:
