Judging by the work on the forum, wouldn't all the exporters be BS exporters?

I'm kidding, don't start crying about it. It's great to see interoperability between programs so thanks for the effort.

if you want to use VRML inside web sites try wirefusion there is a free edition on thier website but it takes some finding. You can use your VRML models and save them as web pages

I've been looking into web3d stuff since this post came out and im still not sure on a few things, maybe someone can clear it up. Do i need a third party app like Shout3D to make this work or can i basically go from blender straight to web.

Aside from the unfortunate acronym, this is cool!
I guess they could have called it BM exporter… >:)

@Bart:

I just mailed you some files. I'd be happy to hear from further improvements.

@Olaf:

Maybe VRML isn't used that much in the Game Industrie nowadays, but there are still many fields where it is used in a productive environment. For example in product-presentation, it's an easy to use and edit format.

Too bad nobody uses VRML these days. It was all the rage a decade ago but nothing ever really came from it.

Yes, I've also noticed issues with Blender 2.47.
I am using the BS Exporter at work a lot, but the new version doesn't work with 2.48(a) at all and with 2.47 there's an error when exporting normals.
Another downside is, that parent-child relationships aren't exported correctly.

That's really a pitty, because the new version of the exporter works much faster now and delivers nice VRML-Code, but they definetly need to iron out that parenting error.
