Live3D, which is essentially WebFx rolled into Netscape, provides some useful extensions for this project. One Live3D enhancement is the AxisAlignment statement, which keeps the text oriented toward viewers as they fly through and around the scene. The shininess and specularColor attributes make the text a bright, almost metallic white. It is affected by the same transformations and material mapping as the cube and other objects. In addition, it has fields for specifying font sizes and styles.
Frames are another useful construct for enhancing the design.
This last technique can be accomplished by using a VRML construct called WWWAnchor. VRML allows you to define nodes that can call a URL when clicked. These enhancements are reflected in the final code, and their effects are shown in Figure 4. Extending We've just scratched the surface of what VRML can bring to a project such as this network mapping function. With the release of VRML 2.0, which will incorporate behaviors, objects could run their own Java scripts in response to events.
