Hi,

I'm using OpenVRML 0.14.3 on Windows with ARToolKit. I'd like to use a newer version, like the latest OpenVRML 0.15.9. Is this possible?

Another question is: is there any possibility of using another VRML reader/writer instead of OpenVRML?

Hello Jo?o!

I saw your posting in the openvrml-develop mailinglist on sourceforge. A few weeks ago somebody answered your posting and wrote something about a patched ART version with support to openvrml 0.15.9... Anything new about that? Did he deliver some usefull code yet?

Hi,

If you can successfully compile a new version of OpenVRML, you should be able to link libARvrml against it.

We may update the OpenVRML lib at some stage. It is not so simple as the new version of OpenVRML has many more dependencies. Also, OpenVRML is being superseded by other kinds of scene graph.. OpenSceneGraph is one solution we are working on.

Regards,
Phil.
