Feature Request: Vrml Import #333

Open Medravr opened 4 years ago

Medravr commented 4 years ago

Robust Vrml import would be very useful to revive and preserve a 1990's VR environments and creations. Many VR environments are available on the internet--even through archive.org's wayback machine. These creations could be viewed and explored in a proper VR space.

This would be interesting to add at some point, but I don't think it can happen anytime soon, at least not supporting the format fully, because it's enormous and really complex, especially with scripting shaders and other advanced stuff. It could take months of development to get full coverage.

This might be an interesting plugin project though if anyone would like to take a stab at it. Essentially build out a script that will convert VRML into equivalent Neos objects if possible.
