"Build your own three-dimensional VRML worlds quickly and easily with 3-D Website Builder's cool drag-and-drop interface. It's a great way to add true-life walk-through dimensions to an otherwise flat, two-dimensional site. Rating: Excellent (five stars)." -- PC/Computing 8/1/96

Product Overview:

3-D Website Builder is the easiest WYSIWYG way to create the coolest "Virtual World" site on the Web without programming. Unlike flat HTML pages, VRML Worlds created with 3-D Website Builder allow visitors to walk through your site and virtually see where they're going and where they've been. This life-like spatial quality makes it easier and more exciting for visitors to navigate without getting lost among hundreds of flat pages. In addition, a 3-D World is several times more efficient than a flat Web page since each 3-D room has at least six 2-D surfaces to place content.

With 3-D Website Builder you can design your own virtual store, create a virtual family photo hall of fame, give the press access to your virtual press room, allow your distant family to take a virtual walk-through of your new house, encourage visitors to tour your virtual trade show, invite exploration of your virtual 3-D campus and more.

3-D Website Builder exports to VRML and includes a major feature subset of the award winning Virtus WalkThrough Pro with an easier drag-and-drop interface and six of the Virtus Galleries.
