The file reader supports files in both VRML1 and VRML2 file formats.
Supported Entities
- All 3D geometry including cuboids, cylinders, cones, spheres, elevation grids, extrusions, face and line sets, and points.
- All grouping nodes, but with the following limitations:
- VRML2 Billboard nodes - children are loaded but no billboarding takes place.
- VRML2 Collision nodes - children are loaded but no specification of collision detection occurs.
- VRML1 WWWAnchor and VRML2 Anchor nodes - children are loaded but clicking objects does not load any referenced VRML world.
- VRML1 and VRML2 LOD nodes - the most detailed (that is, first) child is always loaded.
Unsupported Entities
- All ROUTE definitions
- All sensor nodes
- All interpolator nodes
- Textures specified within the VRML file (VRML2 PixelTexture nodes and the image component of VRML1 Texture2 nodes).
- VRML2 Script nodes
- VRML2 MovieTexture nodes
- VRML2 Fog nodes
- VRML2 AudioClip and Sound nodes
- All text-related nodes (VRML1 ASCII Text, VRML2 Text, and FontStyle nodes).
