[x3d-public] Generating 3D complex narrative; statistics on X3D or XML files

[John Carlson]

Leonard, it follows along the lines of me wanting to write games with just
the instructions or film a movie with just the script, or a score just by
humming.  Since I am a programmer and not an artist, I would like to have
the computer as an assistive device to do these things.   However, I would
like the computer to do most of the heavy lifting, by adding most of the
resources and artistry.

In other words, I need the computer to amplify my minimal artistry—my
talent lies in mathematics and coding.

I know I could use the real world with the right technology, and perhaps
that is what I should do.   What software is there for the iPhone for
bringing the real world into the X3D web?   Can I record movies and easily
incorporate them into 3d worlds?  I really haven’t used many tools beyond
blender.   I’m a vim kinda guy, I’ve never really advanced into the IDE
world even though I wrote a programming by demonstration environment.

I am crippled by my choice of tool it seems, just like some people are
stuck in excel.
