Is the a basic VRML language newsgroup or is this it? Thanks, Robert [The basic VRML newsgroups are: Usenet: alt.lang.vrml Mailing List: _VRML mailing list_: standards discussion subscribe to the www-vrml mailing list.

I have an opportunity to buy the StuntMaster at a really low price and I figure this would be a way for me to get into VR. Any response is appreciated. Email preferably. Thanks.

I'm a PhD student working in virtual reality. I've created some world models on the system I'm using and would like to be able to view these in VRML. Does anyone out there know if there's a 3DS to VRML convertor? If so could you email me direct - c.alberto@cs.ucl.ac.uk Thanks in advance.
