This page shows the example 3D models from the first half of chapter 4 of the The VRML 2.0 Handbook, by Jed Hartman and Josie Wernecke. For more information, see my main Handbook examples page.
I’ve left out example 4-1 because it’s a small file that doesn’t include any 3D structures.
In some cases, the download links download a Zip file containing the main VRML file plus any other associated files that the main file relies on, such as textures.
Unnumbered example (ch. 4, p. 59): The complete small temple
This example is referred to in the book, and an image of the model is shown in Figure 4-1 of the book.

Example 4-2: Rotating an object
Rotates the chacmool model by 1.57 radians, approximately 90 degrees.

Example 4-3: Combining transformations
Shows the chacmool at the origin, and a scaled, rotated, and translated copy at its new location.Preview image
