Victor, the founder of Virtock Technologies, Inc. and creator of Spazz3D
will be presenting the Spazz3D 3.0 Beta, which will be available for

Spazz3D, including MultiTexturing support, H-anim 2001 support( single mesh

also present the hallmark features of Spazz3D that have been in the hands of
happy users for years. Following the presentation, Keith and SFWEB3D founder
Larry Rosenthal will hold an open discussion about Web3D authoring.
Spazz3D was an early entry in the Web3D authoring tool market, back in 1999.
It has established itself as a low cost, easy to use, capable tool for
creating animated 3D content for the web. Spazz3D has been used in many
college environments, including NorthWestern University, San Francisco State
University, Texas Pan-Am University, Chester College( a college of the
University of Liverpool ), Biel School of Engineering (Switzerland ), and EB
Zürich ( Vocational school in Zürich Switzerland ). Spazz3D has been used
extensively by members of the Cybertown 3D Chat community for creating
immersive environments and avatars. Also, Spazz3D has filled a verity of
scientific visualization and marketing niches over the years. Spazz3D was
mentioned in the 1/24/01 issue of The Wall Street Journal.
