I want to add a Vimeo link media player and some VRML viewer or similar. Do any components or blocks exist, I couldn’t find any external plugins. Should I create a div and add my own code ? ---

Hey @Idott, Not sure what your end goal is, but there should be some code for embedding a Vimeo link from their page. It is pretty video specific, so no drag-and-drop element from the library. Just paste the embed code into the Library panel code box and drag it to the page. VRML viewers are going to be pretty complex, so also, nothing out of the box. Good Luck! Bob ---

Hi Rob/Bob, The aim is to showcase students design and craftwork, also to include some practical tutorials. VRML has worked before using X3DOM resources, it was fairly straightforward, will try and post a link To a demo. I just wondered if anything had changed with regard to VRML which could save some time, seems not So I best get thinking.

Hi there, Well, I’m not sure when you were doing this last @Idott , but I’d like to see the demo too as , as far as I know, VRML all but sunk. Died. SO if its up and running GREAT\> I have been looking into the _3D thing_ a bit around here, but I didnt even go down the VRML road as it was sort of dying… immediately after i left Uni, around 2006/7 We also studied **XHTML 2.0** … _The Future of the web_ …yes… quite. Im glad it died! it was even more unnecessarily verbose than I! this is from _back in the day_ and doesnt sound too promising. > I spent a while trying to get it up and running a couple of years ago, via the x3DOM [https://www.x3dom.org/](https://www.x3dom.org/) but wasnt having much success. but I REALLY fancy playing with it 🙂 so sign me up for some of the fun if you get it set up its not what you were after, but I ended up getting my head blown away by this, back in the day.

@Idott I would highly suggest having a look at **Three.js**. - [https://threejs.org/](https://threejs.org/) - & - [three.js webgl - loaders - VRML loader](https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_loader_vrml.html) - Note this regarding Three & VRML: [VRMLLoader: New implementation by Mugen87 · Pull Request #16726 · mrdoob/three.js · GitHub](https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/pull/16726#issuecomment-543828389) - If you can convert your `.wrl` to any of the other Three.js [supported file formats](https://threejs.org/docs/#manual/en/introduction/Loading-3D-models) it would be best. Other modern and actively maintained lib options for converted file types are A-Frame, BabylonJS, etc., - [FAQ – A-Frame](https://aframe.io/docs/1.2.0/introduction/faq.html#how-is-a-frame-different-from-vrml) (uses Three.js) - [Loading Any File Type | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/divingDeeper/importers/loadingFileTypes) ---

Hi Bob, The twisting writhing form were generated using a now defunct software called Groboto, the video was created by applying layers of basic footage over each other and using filters in Kdenlive but I expect all video editors could do this. I will put the unedited video up when I find it. [Next page](https://forum.pinegrow.com/t/media-and-vrml-player/5070.md?page=2)
