Customer Reviews & Comments
So far this is the only VRML book I have found that is written at a level which is useful to serious graphics programmers. If you've programmed graphics applications using some other API and would like to learn VRML, I would strongly suggest buying this book. The topics range from the incredibly simple (here's what VRML is) to topics like subdivision curves and procedural modeling (they have some neat Lindenmayer / fractal plant demos). I actually lost my copy, and am somewhat upset that the book is now out of print.
