Hi,

The next months I'm going to do nothing else than 3d-programming and designing but right now I dont know nothing but making some 3D-models in 3dsMax.
My first assignment (on a univ in belgium) is to make a shop-environment to evaluate the color of a product.
Herefor it must be possible to change the color of the product online.
Is this possible with VRML or X3D?

I'm allready following this forum for a week and I'm very thankfull for the the information about the players and the editors and other advices.

Thx, P.

Yup, an object can change with basic VMRL coding skills. A quick search in
google located this page.

Sure. In simplest case with a slider like in the following file
(you may need 3 sliders for red/green/blue).

But be warned: Matching colors on the monitor to colors in real world is
rather impossible, at least difficult.
You company could bankrupt from "not the color i ordered" complains 8-(

People using computers to build printed catalogues use advanced
monitor calibration devices.

The biggest difference in color depends from the usage of a CRT or
LED monitor....
