X3D Example Archives: Basic, Universal Media Panoramas

Universal Media

Universal Media Panoramas are texture-mapped high-resolution Background nodes.

These Universal Media examples provide a large suite of X3D/VRML Background nodes with customized images for easy author use. Visual scenes are provided for browsing and selection from each collection. Background nodes can be copied directly with multiple url site addresses included for each image texture in order to improve reliability.

Example use is further explained in the X3D for Web Authors slideset Chapter 11 - Lighting and Environment.
