If anyone's interested, there's a Performer-to-VRML2.0
converter on our web site. That is, it will load any model
(for which there is a IRIS Perfomer loader) and do its best to
convert it to VRML 2.0. Free of course!!

Give it a try: http://www.peril.com/products.html#pf2wrl

Someday maybe I'll turn this into a pfdStoreFile ;) For now it's
a totally unoptimized, standalone, command-line utility with a
couple cool features:

 - converts all textures to PNGs or JPGs if you have "imgcopy"
 - all VRML nodes are DEF'd to match PF node names
 - optionally disables backface culling or normal conversion

Supports all primitive types, indexed and non-indexed geosets,
geoset-level backface culling, materials, textures and texture
repeating, material-level transparency, LODs, Billboards and
more!!

(This utility is not officially supported, but feel free to send
any bugs or comments to support++at++peril.com.)

enjoy- glenn.
