✨ Detailed Description ✨

okay so this is the whole set of items specified by VRML97, also known as VRML2.0. 💖

and here's the tea — these nodes are different from VRML1/Inventor nodes, both in the way you structure them into scene-graphs, and in the requirements they set for traversing them correctly. like, VRML1/Inventor require that you traverse siblings on the left side before the node of interest, while for VRML2.0 this is not true. so yeah, different rules, no cap. 👑

wanna find out more about VRML97? it's all in The Annotated VRML2.0 Reference Manual. 📖
