From: Michael Krumm Subject: MISC: VR Standards Solution Proposal Date: Mon, 08 Dec 1997 09:17:04 -0500 Message-ID: <348C0160.C62128C6@lexis-nexis.com> Organization: LEXIS-NEXIS, Dayton OH Recently I began experimenting with a "3D Studio MAX to Quake" map converter (qmapexp.exe). I found it at 3D Cafe and am wondering.....if this works, why bother with VRML at all? iD is sitting on something awsome, beyond the gaming industry. I wonder what the hurtles would be in making their 3D engine into a HTML browser plugin though? You know, if they could pull it off, they could be the ones to FINALLY standardize VR. I'm experimenting by building shopping malls, chat chambers, libraries, etc. As long as I follow the polygonal restrictions of the environment, it works great. Has anyone tried doing this? Comments? --MKrumm-- Michael Krumm
