4.0 out of 5 stars This book is a great introduction to 3d modeling, May 22, 1998

This review is from: VRML: Browsing and Building Cyberspace (Paperback)

I am a heavy reader of computer programming/WWW books and, naturally, this book caught my eye. It is great. It gives a lot of tangent facts about 3d graphics modeling on the whole, the web, the history of VRML, and gives examples of common VRML nodes. You will learn a lot more than VRML from this book. However, you will not learn enough VRML coding to really get you satisfied, and should find another more "hardcore" VRML book to supplement this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars nice starting point, December 26, 1996

If you know nothing about VRML, this book is very useful. If you know a little, this book tells you more. But you can't get into the core of VRML with only this book.
