Welcome to
the Virtual Campus HomePage.
As our HomePage is still in the developing
time, we would just like to introduce how to get a VRML browser to view
our world..
Install a VRML Browser in your computer.
We have try as much platform as we can and choose
the one that is the most suitable for viewing VRML. Here are what we strongly
suggest.
Select you Operating System :
-
Solaris
-
Irix
-
Linux (Soon)
-
Win95/NT
-
PowerMac System 7.5 or above
Any problem : mail to Adam Ti,
Chiang Oon Tan, Willie
Ieong.
Solaris
System
System Require :
JDK 1.02 installed
gzip & tar
Internet Browser :
Netscape 3.0 or above home.netscape.com
VRML 2.0 Browser :
Liquid Reality 1.0 beta 17 www.microsoft.com/dimensionx/lr
How to install :
For user (not root)
After download the file lr-sol10b17.tar.gz into
your account.
(Assume at the home directory)
make a directory and extract the file into this
directory
% mkdir lr
% cd lr
% gzip -dc ../lr-sol10b17.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
% cd ..
Suppose you have a file call .profile in your directory,
edit the file with your familiar editor by adding
the
following lines:
LR_HOME=$HOME/DownLoad/temp/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lr/lib/sparc; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$LR_HOME:$PATH; export PATH
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HOME/lr/classes; export CLASSPATH
Important if you have no CLASSPATH in your profile,
you will get error
with all your java application. You have to ask
for where your java
classes file are located and add the classpath
in it as well.
For example:
The netscape java file in .netscape and
the JDK1.02 classes files are in /usr/java/classes
and so on
then your should add a line more at your .profile
(The previous will still exist, which mean 2
CLASSPATH line.
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HOME/.netscape:/usr/java/classes;
export CLASSPATH
and then restart your computer (Logout)
% cd lr/examples
% appletviewer viewer.html
Hopefully the VRML viewer will start....
To test the Viewer, try put on a VRML scene by
typing
http://turing.vip.cse.unsw.edu.au/bdmx/ThesisNov/Colored/Central_Lecture_Theatre_Block_E19.wrl
You will get the following result...

IRIX 5.3 6.2 6.3 6.4 (SGI)
System Require :
Recommend Texture Mapping Hardware
Internet Browser :
Netscape 3.01S only home.netscape.com
VRML 2.0 Browser :
CosmoPlayer 1.02 only cosmo.sgi.com
How to install :
For user (not root)
After download the file
5.3_cosmo_player_1.0.2.tardist for Irix5.3
6.3_cosmo_player_1.0.2.tardist for Irix6.3
6.2_6.4_cosmo_player_1.0.2.tardist for Irix6.2 or 6.4
into your account.
(Assume at the home directory)
make a directory and extract the file into this directory
% mkdir cosmoplayer
% cd cosmoplayer
% gzip -dc ../filename | tar -xvf -
% cd ..
Suppose you have a file call .profile in your directory,
edit the file with your familiar editor by adding the
following lines:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/cosmoplayer/usr/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
After then, try to move the classes directory into your own Netscape
3.01S directory, which is located at the .netscape directory
% cd
% mv cosmoplayer/usr/CosmoPlayer/classes/vrml .netscape
Then the netscape will know where the classes file are located.
and then restart your computer (Logout)
% netscape&
Hopefully the VRML plugin will work....
To test the VRML plugin, try goto a VRML scene by typing
http://turing.vip.cse.unsw.edu.au/bdmx/ThesisNov/Colored/Central_Lecture_Theatre_Block_E19.wrl
You will get the following result...

Remember to set the Netscape memory size to 16MB or higher by
[Select the Netscape Program] Get Info and change the memory size
and then restart your computer
Hopefully the VRML plugin will work with Netscape
