[x3d-public] I took the plunge.

[Joe D Williams]

First, have the strongest, fastest computer you can get with all the 
audio, video, graphics acceleration you can get. This was true since 
the beginning and still is, although you can create content that will 
play fine most anywhere,

find a most simple text editor that will defeat word wrap and read and 
edit some user code.

for instance which shows some to the great animation and humanoid 
modeling features of X3D (in VRML Classic encoding)

Please look at the web3d.org Community Wiki:
http://www.web3d.org/wiki/index.php/How-To_Guides

Since your jaw-dropping web page will include multiple media,
http://www.drdobbs.com/jvm/understanding-scene-graphs/184405094

Next, choose some tools, Open or Commercial player and authoring 
tools.
Start Free:
http://doc.instantreality.org/tutorial/

Use the free player or try my pick as the current overall best, try 
the BSContact from BItmanagement.

And, of course the latest and greatest:

Please don't overlook WebGL:
