Whats the easiest way to get started in VRML?
Get an integrated VRML development system (called a modeler or a world builder) that has the capability to generate VRML models and behavior. There is a list of world building tools at the VRML Repository that can get you started. Not long ago you had to learn VRML even to get started. Now it’s perfectly possible to build very decent worlds without learning VRML just as you can now build perfectly good web pages without learning HTML. As you grow in experience with VRML, you’ll probably discover that many modelers produce worlds that are too big to render efficiently. You may also find that very subtle effects are beyond the resolution of some modeling tools.
