You might want to take a look at XDim:

It's Freeware, and creates 3D views from all kinds of 2D files (p.ex
ASCII tables, GIF's, JPEG's etc.). And it exports VRML as a bonus.

XDim available from:

ftp: ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
/pub/unix/X11/graphics/xdim

Version: 2.6

You only need a UNIX box + ANSI C + X11 + Motif
