| Hello,
A new version of VrmlMerge is available. Here is a short description of VrmlMerge:
1. Its main purpose is to merge multiple VRML files (.wrl) referenced by Inlines and EXTERNPROTOs
into one big file. Having one big file has many advantages - it allows you to send the files over
the Internet much faster (one file instead of many), and it also allows gzip to compress it much more.
2. It can replace references to texture files with PixelTextures placed inside of your VRML file. So
- together with feature 1. you can actually turn your whole visualisation (VRML files and
images/textures) into ONE file. VRML Files produced by this process are quite huge but they can be
compressed VERY well (like 10 times). Do I have to mention again that downloading one big file is
much faster than downloading hundreds of small files?
3. Last thing it can do is to convert VRML'97 files to X3D files (X3D is going to be a successor of
VRML'97)
License still didn't change but maybe it will someday (now it's free for non-commercial use)
