Figure 16.7 Vertex Colored Elevation Grid Mountain

The Color node lists Red-Green-Blue (RGB) colors to use for rendering points in a geometric shape.

Color indexes select colors to use at each vertex. Colors override any accompanying Material node. The colorPerVertex field selects color per line/face/grid square or else color per coordinate.

These X3D scenes are adapted directly from the original VRML 2.0 Sourcebook chapter examples. Also available: Introduction to VRML97 SIGGRAPH98 course notes.
