white_dune is a graphical VRML97/X3DV editor, simple NURBS/Superformula 3D modeller, animation tool, and a very limited VRML97/X3DV commandline compiler in development. VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the Web via browser plugins ("HTML for realtime 3D"). X3DV is the direct successor of VRML97. VRML97 and X3DV have support for animation, real-time interaction, and multimedia (images, movies, and sounds). white_dune can read, create, and display VRML97/X3DV files and let the user change the scenegraph/fields. It also has support for stereoscopic view via "quadbuffer"-capable stereo visuals, and support for 3D input devices like a joystick, spaceball, or magnetic tracker.

Recent releases


Changes: This release changes all NURBS creation dialogs to ask the number of control points instead of asking for the size of the of object. It changes the options dialogs to fit into 600 pixel high screens. It rearranges X3D items in the "create" menu, fixes a crash in the triangulation code, adds experimental rendering for the NurbsSweptSurface node, fixes missing conversion of animation of NURBS/Supershape based shapes on pure VRML97 export to IndexedFaceSet based morphing, and fixes missing drawing of lines of CoordinateInterpolator data in the channelview window.


Changes: This version fixes wrong conversion of NURBS nodes from ISO 19776-2:2005 to ISO 14772-1:2002 and vice versa. Support was added for LOD node to wonderland export. A bug in writing wrong LOD fieldname to C/C++/Java source export was fixed. Formating errors in Java source export were cleaned up. A solution was added for the "too much constants" Java export compile problem. The documentation about Java/wonderland export was updated.


Changes: This release fixes a crash that occurred if wonderland export was used twice. It fixes/unifies missing error messages on file -> export operations. It fixes a crash when connecting any type as ROUTE to Script node. It adds limited support for Billboard node to wonderland export.


Changes: This release fixes a bug in wonderland export without the "many classes" export option. It fixes a problem with transparent textures in wonderland export. It fixes incorrect quoting of strings on field pipe. It fixes an incorrect number of floats used with the glMaterialfv() call in the Background node. It fixes a crash in exporting triangulated Java source code. It fixes incorrect handling of walk navigation after clicking to an object.


Changes: The "many classes" export option was added to java/wonderland export to fight against the "too much constants" Java compile problem.

Cause of a buffer overflow and a format string error, all older versions than 0.29beta795 and 0.28pl13 should not be used.<BR/>
This also includes <a href="dune.sourceforge.net/&...; (white_dune is a fork of dune-0.13).<BR/>
Unfortunatly, the security problems are located in a errormessage routines, so it is rather simple to build a exploit.
