I found the CubeRender page particularly interesting.  It provides a way
of creating a "Quicktime" style view of your 3D renderings all from
within vrml.

The vrml model consists of not much more than a cube textured with six


view in all directions.

I threw together a simple pov world to see how easy it would be to
create a vrml world that included shadows, reflections & all the other
goodies that POV has to offer.  I am sending the vrml model plus the
jpegs I created from POV.

Just one note...

If you do choose to look at the vrml model, use the Tilt setting to
rotate within the model.  The model is more or less similar to a
Quicktime movie in that there really is no depth.  Moving forward will
get you closer to the cube faces, but you won't be able to go beyond the
cube boundaries.


Enjoy!
