Absolutely. Thank you everyone for all the glTF information.

Andreas, in particular: the last mail showing how X3DOM internally
transforms glTF -> X3D (with PhysicalMaterial and BufferGeometry) is
*very* useful and practical, thanks a lot for this.

I am watching all the talk on the mailing lists about glTF, and I'm
updating my knowledge and opinions. It's a lot of fun to feel your
brain expanding :) I collect my knowledge on
https://github.com/michaliskambi/x3d-tests/wiki .

I must say that I share Don's excitement about focusing January on
glTF + X3D integration, including PBR in X3D. Since January I should
also have time to actually play with implementing glTF in Castle Game
Engine / view3dscene, and I'll be happy to test it all in practice.

Note that I will be at that time (Web3D teleconference on Friday,
November 30th) at a game conference in Barcelona. I *should* have
there Internet access and I *should* be able to attend the Web3D
teleconference, I have this time reserved. That said, forgive me in
advance if I'll have some unexpected technical difficulties at that
time.
