Vmrl
I would like to make 3D interactive Chat rooms, demostration models, tours, etc. I was attempting to learn VRML and somebody told me it was "dead". Is this true? and if so why it is dead and what has replaced it?
does anyone know what is used to make 3d chats such as "active worlds" and "cybernet"?
I also would like some addresses of chats and tours and demos made as examples
thanks

i dont think it's dead, i think there's still plugins but it's been a good 2 years since i've touched it. to my knowledge nothing has replaced it.
search for cosmoplayer, which is, or was, the vrml plugin.

Interactive Shockwave-3D games and movies are getting popular. Look into it.
(Sorry, I have no links - I've only read very little about it. Check with Google.)

yes, it seems everyone wants to learn and use director, and they offer it at my college. However it has not made a real big impression on me, a user. I have yet to see a director movie because everytime I go to such a site a window pops up and askes me if I was to install shockwave..I always click "yes" and then my browser proceeds to crash on me.
I have never returned to a shockwave site after this happens. I find it very imposing to have some program get in ur face asking if you want to install something or not before u have a chance to look at the site!
I have to use shockwave for the tutorial CD's I own. But it seems the version I have on my computer gets into a conflict with the version the browser tries to install and wants me to either uninstall my old verson or crash my computer.
But I have been told director is the thing to learn so I will plan on learning it.
