Why should you use FreeWRL for your OSX/Linux 3D graphics needs?

Thanks for the trojan work on this - there is a large Mac community out there who is indebted to you. Well done and keep it up. -- David Murphy, Ireland.
FreeWRL \free-wuhr-ell\: (noun) 1. An essential tool for every Linux/Mac X3D/VRML toolbox. -- Robert "Exile In Paradise" Murphey, USA

FreeWRL not only enable us to run only OSS in our 3D modeling platform but also outclass other VRML/X3D plugins by its performances. -- Michel BRIAND, Myosotis Project Leader, Toulouse, France

FreeWRL has had an impressive track record, is here to stay. X3D Components get added, problems get resolved. Program with GLSL Shaders using the X3D Shaders Component, put your model exactly where you want them with the Geospatial Component, or just throw triangles to the screen as Extrusions, IndexedFaceSets, TriangleSets, Circle2D, Disk2D, Spheres, Boxes, Cubes; the list goes on and on.

With royalty free open standards, your models will continue to render, year after year.

November 9, 2009 A Windows binary installer has been released. This is Beta software; we would be more than happy to receive feedback. Go to the "download" page, and look for the Windows Binary, and follow the directions.

October 14 2009 The FreeWRL 1.22.5 OSX release had a problem with the initial package not containing libGLEW. I had hoped that this package had been rewritten when I had submitted a change to SourceForge, but it appears not to have propagated. So, I have just uploaded FreeWRL-1.22.5.1.UB.dmg to the downloads page; this should cure your libGLEW problems.

If you use FreeWRL in an interesting project, drop John Stewart (freewrl-09 -at- rogers.com) a note and tell us about it.
