[X3D-Public] Export to X3D updated in new Blender version 2.56 beta

[JOHN COADY]

Here are some examples of 3D content that I have exported from Blender to X3D to give you an idea of what blender created content might look like in X3D. Depending on the model, the Exported file from blender can get quite large and will need to be compressed. It doesn't take much to have files that are 10s of megabytes in size.
