- gattilorenz 7y agoAbsolutely. When I was a kid I did not have any internet access, and most of the software was from CDs from magazines. One of them had a VRML world+editor that I still remember fondly. I should try to see if the CD is still readable...
- dguaraglia 7y agoYou should check on cd.textfiles.com. They have the content of a bunch of those old CDs that would come with magazines. I've spent more time than I'd like to admit download content from textfiles.com and reminiscing of the pre-ubiquitous-internet world :)
- bri3d 7y agoYes and yes, mostly. Some libraries (like three.js) still support loading "Classic VRML" as a scene format, but I don't think it's a popular target these days. On a similar nostalgia train, does anyone else remember Cycore Cult3D? It was a sort-of-WebGL-ish browser plugin targeted at rendering 3D parts and product views in the browser.
