VRML (3D) Files

VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) files contain 3-dimensional information which is intended to recreate virtual worlds of all types. VRML files are platform-independent. Both ATOMS and SHAPE will write files of this type. The structures or crystals can be rotated and rescaled. In order to view such files, you need a 3-D plug-in for your Web Browser, or a stand-alone viewer.  The CosmoPlayer viewer is the most popular plug-in for Internet Browsers.  The VRweb stand-alone viewer may be easier to use. See the VRML Repository for the latest information on VRML viewers.
