Flux Player and Flux Studio were freely downloadable for any usage under a proprietary Flux Player and Flux Studio license.[1]
Flux software was developed by Tony Parisi, who coworked with Mark Pesce on the development of the experimental VRML prototype called Labyrinth. Flux Studio could successfully import and export *.WRL, *.X3DV and *.X3D files.
