[vtkusers] displaying 3D on the web

[Ayman Habib]

Hi Seb,

I want to do the reverse (get static 3D scene with Color, Texture into a VTK 
based application), I couldn't find an X3D importer/reader, and didn't have 
luck using the vtkVRMLImporter either (always got 0 Actors from 
importer->GetRenderer()->GetActors()).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Ayman

VRML/X3D should be reliable enough if you do have a static 3D scene.
