## VRML 2 Export

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page refers to the **VRML 2 export** in **Cinema 4D**. It writes the classic web-3D format — retained for legacy viewers and archival exchange of animated scenes.

## General

- ASCII format (optionally formatted).
- Hierarchical saving of all objects: Generators are converted to polygon objects.
- Object names are converted, special characters are filtered/converted.
- Textures:

> **Tip:** Tip:If there are any textures, the program looks for the color texture, the luminance texture and the environment texture (in that order). Color textures, even inline textures, are saved as files.

- Materials: Color, Reflectance, Illumination, Specular, Specular Color, Transparency, environment
- WWW links and addresses are saved: when an object is selected in the web browser, the program branches to that link.
