<p class="MsoNormal">I think that Aaron was writing something that converted class names into X3D Python classes (and to scene graph objects?), but I haven’t heard much about it or if he imports X3D directly into Maya or some X3DPSAIL derivative (and then to
Maya). I am will to work on something that generates a XML Python loader (from X3DUOM), just realize I haven’t decided on a single loader class or multiple loader classes. Opinions? At least I can take a first crack at it. I probably won’t use AI at all.
I’ll study the structure of the Java version, but I do prefer ElementTree over DOM for this use case.<o:p></o:p></p>

import/export addons on Windows! I’m guessing X3DPSAIL can run stylesheets as well? Perhaps it’s time to convert stylesheets to pure Java, with a stylesheet of course!<o:p></o:p></span></a></p>
