Marc,
  You're right, the VRML2 export in VMD is fairly simple.
This is mainly a result of the problems I had with various VRML2
viewer programs that didn't parse the full file format. What viewer
program are you using? It should be easy to fix if I could find a
decent free VRML2 viewer that doesn't choke on syntactically correct
VRML2 files.
