What is WRL file?
The .WRL file extension is associated with the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). This is a computer language used to create 3D interactive worlds on the web. It is a text-based format used to define objects in a virtual world, including shapes, textures, and sizes, as well as interactivity and scripted behaviors. The WRL file is intended to be used in conjunction with web browsers, allowing users to view or interact with virtual 3D spaces through their web browsers. [ ⏩ ] WRL file extension
How to convert the file from POV to WRL?
To successfully convert the POV file to WRL, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.POV). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case WRL (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than WRL).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. POV to WRL. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting POV files to WRL files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension WRL, while before this step we had the POV file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new WRL file, or not.
