This page is a tutorial of a sort, but it takes a slightly different approach from the VRML97 Tutorial that you've all probably read by now. It is a collection of workshops that deal with getting results from VRML. It's not like the tutorial, which deals exclusively with the language itself. It is more focused on what you can do using VRML. So, less teaching VRML, more showing you how to use VRML to create what you want.
