[x3d-public] Demo of loading glTF assets into an X3D scene -- using X3DOM

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

Interesting work, thanks!

Michalis, Andreas, Timo: the comment by Vince regarding lighting is important.  As we work towards detailed specification of loading glTF into X3D, presumably application of scene lighting to the inlined model is allowed... is that correct?  are there any special considerations or issues?

Vince, Anita and William: it would also be great if we got the animation file for the "too much coffee" guy.  If BVH, we can model it with HAnimMotion node or interpolators.  If something else, we can try to adapt it.  Hoping you can get this, perhaps as part of our IEEE 3D Body Processing collaboration.

X3DOM make several network calls to retrieve these components of the glTF asset. My next test will be to package each model into a single .glb file to verify that X3DOM can load thge asset with a single network call.
