Hi,

If someone would add the "wrl" extension to the list of allowed extensions
e.g. in index/hash "allowed" about line 775 of

typo3_src-3.8.0/typo3/sysext/cms/tbl_tt_content.php

'multimedia' => Array (
 'label' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.php:multimedia',
  'config' => Array (
   'type' => 'group',
   'internal_type' => 'file',
   'allowed' => 'txt,html,htm,class,swf,swa,dcr,wav,avi,au,mov,asf,mpg,wmv,mp3,wrl', 
   'max_size' => '10000',
   'uploadfolder' => 'uploads/media',
   'size' => '2',
   'maxitems' => '1',
   'minitems' => '0'
  )
 ),

it would be easily possible to use VRML97 files for a typo3 user.
 
VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) is a sort of "HTML for three
dimensional data" or "OpenGL for dummies". 

VRML97 can be used for animation and interaction of 3D data. 
VRML97 files can be publiced inside <embed> tags, like other files with the
extensions already in index/hash "allowed".

There are a lot of 3D tools (including open source tools like white_dune) 
which can author or export VRML97 files. 
There are multiple webbrowser plugins to display VRML97 for various 
operation systems (including open source plugins like FreeWRL for Linux).

so long
