VRML viewers to launch from a webpage

[3DPO]

I am looking to show cool 3D VRML images to those who care (including prospective customers!) similar to the way, for example, NASA shows the International Space Station design to the public.

What I want to do is clear in my mind... output CAD images in VRML format and share them via a website.

What is not clear to me is how I can do this for FREE!!! (Given I have the CAD software and VRML output). Don't forget it should be really cooool too....

Progressive image is not really worth it. It still takes the same amount of time to download the image and the file image does become larger.
A javascript preloader wont be much help on such a large file.
A javascript loading bar script can be set to load in a pop-window so that it does not affect the speed of the original download as much.

My suggestion is that you thumbnail it. Have it load a slightly larger version of the image you want to display. This will allow users to see the picture better. If they decide they want the image, zip the original using winzip or something. Then add a download link to the zip file.

This way people dont have to wait for the full image to load and they can preview it before they download.
