01 Introduction

Vivaty Studio is a WYSIWYG VRML/X3D authoring application with a 3D modeling interface. Designed to create virtual worlds from scratch, includes a wide range of tools, from 3D modellers to scripting interfaces.  It's one of the most complete VRML/X3D software packages available.

Created by Vivaty, this program is no longer supported or updated due to the demise of this virtual worlds company. The installer can be downloaded from Babel X3D or from here.

 

02 General Interface

General interface:

Vivaty Studio's interface is similar to generic 3D modeling and animation programs. The main view is dominated by perspective viewpoints: 3D view, top, front and side views. These can be customized using commands and freely rotated. Program options and commands can be accessed in the menu bar at the top. On the left, a toolbar contains modeling and vrml tools. On the right one panel displays a node/object manager and, if a node or object is selected, its properties.
