Greetings,

i downloaded this library but the docs are kinda hard to understand for
me since i'm new to VRML. I need to do a project for my job and i need
to display several VRML files on screen and animate them separately. Is
there a place where i can find all the informations i need to do this.

This is rather confusing for me. I am used to program with DirectX but
not OpenGL, and i have very short time to learn all this so any kind of
help is appreciated.

For the CyberX3D browser, there is a CyberX3D/sample/X3DBrowser/win32
directory with a example browser program.
It could be the base of your development.

At least the program from CyberX3D/sample/X3DBrowser/glut/X3DBrowserGLUT.cpp
also loads VRML97 files on SGI IRIX.

BTW: AFAIK CyberX3D do not support javascript scripting, but do support
java scripting

Using DirectX on Linux ? Tell me more ....

There is also a CyberX3D/sample/X3DBrowser/glut example, which is portable.
For a GLUT introduction see

http://216.249.163.93/bob.pilgrim/515/lectures_02.html

There is also a "glutCreateSubWindow" command, see

I was talking about "CyberX3D for C++".

VRML97 (and X3D of course) do not just discribe a 3D data model (like DXF).
VRML97 can have programming parts, this is usually done in java or
javascript/ecmascript in a socalled SCRIPT node.
Some special browsers support BASIC, perl, shared libraries, COM etc.

AFAIK CyberX3D only support VRML SCRIPT nodes written in java.
