[X3D-Public] Blender Export to X3D

[Don Brutzman]

Hi John.  I used Blender and found some bugs too.  Like you,
they were fixed immediately.  Very impressive.

The page describing how we used Blender is at
https://savage.nps.edu/X3D-Edit/BlenderExportToX3d.html

If you see anything on that page which needs to get fixed, please
let me know. Thanks for the good news regarding their continued
support for X3D.

So I submitted a bug report and they fixed the problem I reported the next day. I am a new user to Blender and if the Export to X3D functionality had a basic bug such as positioning objects correctly, I'm sure that there are other problems with the Export to X3D. Does anyone have any ideas on how to test this properly. Blender seems to have a lot of configurable options to play with, and if X3D has some equivalent functionality then it would be nice to know when you Export to X3D that the X3D nodes get used properly.

They seem to be working hard to get the next major release out and that is why the bug that I reported got fixed right away. It would be nice to fix as many problems with Export to X3D before the next major release if anyone has any ideas on how to test it properly.

all the best, Don
