;-) And that is the reason why I decided to read whatever email I get in
its native text format years ago... html is sooo useless for mails.

Maybe we meet in the parallel universe, where our parallel egos have
plenty of spare time and money, on a nice sunny beach studying the
irradiance... ;-) Ok, in fact I described the problem some time ago
here, but I would agree that there are more important features than
vrml-export filters. Actually, my experiments with converting radiance's
scene language into xml using xslt's were a step to get models OUT of
radiance, e.g. to (the xml-coded) x3d. I just never managed to write a
x3d-output stylesheet. I'm sure I did in one of the parallel universes.

However, my point is that in 2006, I would not spend time on a vrml-2
filter, but, if I had, on x3d. It is really close to vrml, but cleaner
and all development power at web3d is going there.

Now I have to hurry, my train to Ankara won't wait, and I have to be
there tomorrow morning. CU Lars.
