Re: [-empyre-] commerce compatability and web 3d

Hello all,

Been following the conversation so far with interest. As an artist who's
worked with bits and pieces of 3D and interested in working with vrml but
not yet tried it I was interested in Auriea's practical info and software
suggestions. I had planned to get myself cosmoworld last year until I
realised it had disappeared off the market! Same issue as is currently being
discussed...

Anyway, I am interested to get some more practical info about what
methods/software people use to create their projects and for recommendations
on software that's accessible to the not particularly techy level user
(ideally cross platform).

Thanks,
Bev
