Crystallographica VRML gallery

Note: To look at these files you will need a VRML viewer. A good tool if you are using Netscape is the CosmoPlayer plug-in, supplied with the latest Netscape installation. The latest version of the Microsoft Internet Explorer also comes with an appropriate plug-in as part of the standard distribution (you may have to install it explicitly). Examples of standalone viewers include VRWeb and Webspace. Another good source of info is The Web3D Consortium.
