3D Graphics for the People J. D. Weekley For as long as there has been a World Wide Web, 3D has been the 'next big thing', but because of many factors, it never really took off. But behind the browser wars, the dot com boom and bust, and all the hype around competing 3D graphics formats, Extensible 3D Graphics (X3D) matured as the stable standard for 3D on the web. And it finally becomes accessible to everyone with this book. Following the simple and instructive examples, even a novice can create 3D models and virtual worlds for the web. The book and accompanying website provide both in. "A welcome contribution to web authoring" according to P. C. Etter. I recently purchased a copy of "Extensible A welcome contribution to web authoring I recently purchased a copy of "Extensible 3D Graphics for Web Authors" and found the book to be a wonderful guide to this new field. The text is comprehensible and the material is laid out in a way that makes the book a delight to read. The authors are to be congratulated for producing this welcome contribution to web authoring..

About the Author Don Brutzman is a computer scientist and associate professor working in the Modeling Virtual Environments & Simulation (MOVES) Institute and Undersea Warfare Center at the Naval Postgraduate School. He has over 20 years of experience focusing on information visualization in a variety of industries including astronautics, oceanography, health care, and supply chain management. His current work in X3D includes specification development, teaching, book authoring, and problem solving. He was a founding member and treasurer of the Los Angeles VRML User’s Group. He is a board member of non-profit Sea Lab Monterey Bay, which is designing and build
* The first book on the new way to present interactive 3D content over the Web, written by two of the designers of the standard* Plentiful illustrations and screen shots in the full color text* Companion website with extensive content, including the X3D specification, sample code and applications, content creation tools, and demos of compatible Web browsers. Instead of a large monolithic specification (like VRML), which requires full adoption for compliance, X3D is a component-based architecture that can support applications ranging from a simple non-interactive animation to the latest streaming or rendering applications. 3D Web courses were started, several best-selling books were published, and VRML continues to be used today. Don Brutzman organized the first symposium on VRML and is playing a similar role with X3D; he is a founding member of the consortium.
