Figure 16.7 Vertex Colored Elevation Grid Mountain

The Color node lists colors to use for the various parts of a geometric shape, providing the value of the color field. Color indexes select colors to use at each vertex. Colors override any accompanying Material node. The colorPerVertex field selects color per line/face/grid square or else color per coordinate.

These X3D scenes are adapted directly from the original VRML 2.0 Sourcebook chapter examples. Also available: Introduction to VRML97 SIGGRAPH98 course notes.
