Java View3D and Active Worlds
As you should know, Java View3D can read RenderWave files (Rwx). This is the file format used by the RenderWare library by Criterion Software. This library is also used for the ActiveWorlds program, so JView3D could be easily used to display 3D object used in ActiveWorlds.
One of the latest feature of JView3D is the ability to load zipped 3D files (JDK1.1 only), like those used by ActiveWorlds.

In this page, I'll try to show you some use of Java View3D with Active World.

Limitations:
Current version of JView3D cannot display texture mapped files.

Sample 1: Displaying an Avatar using the View3DApplet (this mean: Absolutly NO CODE).
Remember that you can mouve the model using your mouse+shift keys.

Sample2: A few code, for a small application dedicated on AW

Sample3: More complex application....
