Question Virtual Reality

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a thesis related to virtual reality in engineering. I have been trying to search for some softwares which could draw 3D environments other than using DELMIA QUEST.

Not sure if you guys heard of Flexsim, I tried that but discovered it can't be viewed in a VRML viewer like InstantPlayer.

I'm new in exploring AC3D on doing this. By far, I have tried exporting a simple house that is created in AC3D into VRML format and it can be viewed in InstantPlayer.

Just wondering if AC3D is capable of creating a factory environment with workers moving around? Much appreciated if anyone could kindly clear my doubts.

With AC3D, you can make all the models and figure the animation vectors. But it's up to the software you are exporting to to do the actual animations.

Does it mean AC3D can only create 3D models but they can't be animated?

That depends on what you like to do. For instance, I make models for Orbiter, a free spaceflight sim.
