Resources for AW 3-D Modeling (Incomplete list! Contributions to katy@indiana.edu are welcome.)
The Active Worlds browser is based on RenderWare which has its own self-rendering, internal scripting language. (VRML is a 3D modeling programming language that needs a rendering engine like RenderWare, Direct3D, OpenGL, etc. in order to render 3D objects.)
