Vrmlpad + Extrusion Editor
VrmlPad is an advanced editor for VRML coding. It's good for students who are studying the basics of VRML or prefer manual programming. The key features of VrmlPad include smart autocomplete, dynamic errors detection, visual support for the scene tree, integrated script debugger, and publishing wizard amongst others.
Extrusion Editor is a visual plug-in for VrmlPad for the creation and editing of extrusion models. The use of extrusions instead of IndexedFaceSet models allows for the reduction of the size of a model while retaining its visual quality.
