 Virtual Dublin 1904?

[xposted to vrml and joyce groups]

i'm a james joyce enthusiast and have lately been building a lot of 2-d
maps of dublin in 1904 (the setting of his 'ulysses').

eg: <URL: http://www.*-*-*.com/ ;

i feel like the time has come to make the jump to 3-D, starting with a
few streets and buildings, gradually to grow into a detailed dublin
environment.

a hasty web search suggests vrml best meets these criteria:

- capable of growing slowly to a full (schematic) city

- free browsers on all platforms

- free or cheap authoring tools

but a lot of the weblinks i chased came up 404, which scares me...?

Before you do have a search there is a very nice couple of vrml`s of
Dublin on the go already.  If I find it again I will let you know it
is real fine work.

Don't like freak out on me if I don't know what I'm talking about (hey
I'm a lover not a programmer) BUT at www.freefiles.com they have
plenty of free graphic stuff to download.
I downloaded a graphic viewer/editor from them and saw tons of the
kind of software you're describing.
SOmetimes, they will have dead links, but you can usually find
something that you can use.
Good luck with the project! This sounds so interesting. Does anyone
know where a good 2-D map of Dublin 1904 would be, perhaps annotated
with Ulyssses events and places?
thanks
