OpenVRML

OpenVRML is a VRML and X3D browser plug-in and C++ toolkit for incorporating VRML support into applications.

OpenVRML provides VRML97 and Classic VRML X3D parsers, a runtime, and an OpenGL renderer as C++ libraries.

The renderer is fully separate from the runtime library so that users can also provide their own renderer.
