RemarksVRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is the file format adopted by the Internet community for 3D geometry data on the World Wide Web. Both individual objects and complete scenes can be defined with VRML. Most of the VRML format is taken directly from the Open Inventor file format and Open Inventor nodes may be mixed with VRML nodes.
2.0.2 of Open Inventor by FEI supports the unique VRML 1.0 nodes as native Open Inventor nodes.
2.4 (and higher) of Open Inventor by FEI supports the VRML nodes as well.
This makes Open Inventor the most powerful tool available for building applications that utilize VRML and 3D on the Internet.
<font color="#0000FF">NOTE:</font> The VRML classes do not exist in Open Inventor 10.0 and later.
