Hello,

   Version 2.2 of x3d, a 3D wireframe / hidden line / hidden surface viewer
that runs under X11, is now available via anonymous ftp at
castlab.engr.wisc.edu (144.92.60.140) and is found as /pub/x3d.2.2.tar.Z. 

x3d is a utility for viewing color polygonal objects.  It has three 
rendering modes (wireframe, hidden line, and hidden surface).  Objects in 
each of these rendering modes can be displayed in monochrome,
stereo (red/blue stereo pair), or full color.

Several objects have been kidnapped from various sources on the net or
personally generated for this version:

F15.obj         flyer.obj       teapot.obj      test2.obj
cobra.obj       jaws.obj        test0.obj       x29.obj
cube.obj        p38.obj         test1.obj       xwing.obj
 
Hopefully most of the X glitches have been worked out by this version.  The
hidden line and hidden surface code still has bugs, but they are not too severe.

The program also includes a conversion utility to convert your own lists of
polygons into x3d objects.

-- Enjoy
