VRML1.0 defines several different classes of nodes. Most of the nodes can be classified into one of three categories; shape, property or group.
Shape nodes define the geometry in the scene.
  • Conceptually, they are the only nodes that draw anything.
Property nodes affect the way shapes are drawn.
And Grouping nodes gather other nodes together,
  • allowing collections of nodes to be treated as a single object.
Some group nodes also Control nodes whether or not their children are drawn.
