Redliner is a new reviewing system of 3D architectural models over the Web.

Basically you can, from your own computer, view the 3D model of a building, move around and inside it, and leave comments at the exact place where you think there is a problem or something to change. Exactly how you would do it in a real building in walking with the architect pointing at the problem that have to be solved. Except that you can do it before the actual building has been built.

The system requirements is a PC with Internet Explorer and a VRML browser.

Sorry for Mac users, but there's some kind of a problem with the only VRML browser that exists for Netscape (CosmoPlayer) that crashes the system. But if you have Nestcape and Cosmo, you can still see the models, but not annotate them.

Before entering Redliner, be sure you know how to use it, or have a look first at the Cosmo set up and the demo (in Flash).
