I created this tutorial for some people who were wondering how to rip models for the purpose of making them in paper, but it works no matter what your purpose. ;)
Software:
Blender: blender.org
Python: python.org
1964: 1964emu.emulation64.com/
Lemmy's Plugin: emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=25503
VRML Plugin: wiki.blender.org/index.php/Scripts/Manual/Import/VRML97
mxTextTools: egenix.com/products/python/mxBase/
SimpleParse: sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55673&package_id=50682
EDIT: Good news, the latest version of Blender (version 2.48a) has a built-in WRL import script! Now, all you need is the latest version of Blender, Python, 1964 and Lemmy's Plugin. You no longer need the VRML Plugin, mxTextTools, or SimpleParse.
