Converting VRML to JPEG

Hi,
I am new to VRML. Is it possible to convert VRML files to JPEG files on
the server. Let's say I have a 3d model of a table(a VRML file) on the
server and I want people to apply textures and color to the different
parts of this table on the fly and have server create jpeg file from
this VRML file and return it. Does anyone know any application or
script that will run on web server that will to this?

Thanks,
Osi.

Sure, it's called OpenGL:)

--------------------------
24.050 How can I save my OpenGL rendering as an image file, such as GIF,
TIF, JPG, BMP, etc.? How can I read these image files and use them as
texture maps?

To save a rendering, the easiest method is to use any of a number
of image utilities that let you capture the screen or window, and save
it is a file.

To accomplish this programmatically, you read your image with
glReadPixels(), and use the image data as input to a routine that
creates image files.

Similarly, to read an image file and use it as a texture map, you
need a routine that will read the image file. Then send the texture data
to OpenGL with glTexImage2D().

OpenGL will not read or write image files for you. To read or write
image files, you can either write your own code, include code that
someone else has written, or call into an image file library. The
following links contain information on all three strategies.
