We've written a Quake BSP map to VRML converter. Make previews of your

favorite maps for people to tour before they download!

You can find it (and all the Quake shareware level conversions) at:

http://web.mit.edu/pmccormi/www/bsp2wrl/

bsp2wrl outputs VRML 1.0, VRML 2.0, and OpenInventor. The VRML 2.0

doesn't have any more features than VRML 1.0 but is structured a bit

differently.

All lighting, viewpoints, texture mapping are properly implemented. On a

fast, memory-heavy machine with a good VRML browser, it looks just like

the real thing. Live3D works really well with the maps.
