I have tested the new SGI CosmoPlayer VRML viewer, version 2, with
Netscape 4.04. Great ! Just an advice to STRUVIR and GLASSVIR
users, if any. You should edit the .wrl files and delete one line
containing :
Normal { vector 0 0 1 }
this will considerably improve the rendering...
You may consider downloading new versions building .wrl files
without this line and also improving the perspective :

All the best,
