Now called an extension, it used to be call add-ons. When Blender introduced the “Extension Platform” with version 4 they stopped distributing this X3D extension with the core Blender distribution, it has to be installed from the page you have shown. I believe the only external 3D formats included with the core Blender download now are STL, OBJ, and glTF.<div><br></div><div>The X3D-Ecosystem WG contributed bug fixes and enhancements to this earlier in 2025; in particular support X3D export of image textures with associated image files, as well as correctly handling the Text node requiring parsing MFString encoded values. The work starting up with implementing export of PhysicalMaterial from Blender may be contributed to this extension as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Vince Marchetti</div><div><br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfMessage"><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Dec 18, 2025, at 6:23 PM, Don Brutzman via X3D-Ecosystem <x3d-ecosystem@web3d.org> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>p.s. here is the extension page</div><div><ul><li><a href="https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/web3d-x3d-vrml2-format/?utm_source=blender-5.0.1">https://extensions.blender.org/add-ons/web3d-x3d-vrml2-format/?utm_source=blender-5.0.1</a></li></ul></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><span style="font-family:monospace">all the best, Don</span></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><font face="monospace">-- </font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><font face="monospace">X3D Graphics, Maritime Robotics, Distributed Simulation</font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><font face="monospace">Relative Motion Consulting <a href="https://relativemotion.info/" target="_blank">https://RelativeMotion.info</a></font></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Dec 18, 2025 at 3:16 PM Don Brutzman <<a href="mailto:don.brutzman@gmail.com">don.brutzman@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>i just upgraded to Blender 5.0.1. it shows the following extension:</div><div><br></div><div><span id="cid:ii_mjc26p100"><image.png></span><br></div><div><br></div><div>wondering if this is a current work in progress, or might it interfere with work going on in this group?</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><font face="monospace"><br></font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><font face="monospace">all the best, Don</font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><font face="monospace">-- </font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><font face="monospace">X3D Graphics, Maritime Robotics, Distributed Simulation</font></div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"><font face="monospace">Relative Motion Consulting <a href="https://relativemotion.info/" target="_blank">https://RelativeMotion.info</a></font></div></div></div></div></div>
