We just got a grant from the Gates Foundation to teach a class in a =
low-income neighborhood where we'll be creating Magic Books using =
ARToolkit. I've been looking into various 3D design packages, and the =
two that we're most likely to use can export into 3ds and obj =
(Wavefront), but not VRML. Is anyone aware of a 3ds (or obj) to VRML =
translator?  The only ones I could find on the web were no longer =
available.

Thanks!

Most of the bigger brand 3D modellers such as 3DS Max will handle VRML as well as 3DS formats, so I've used these in the past for conversions. There is also "3D Exploration" or "Deep Exploration" which do good conversions to lots and lots of formats.
