[x3d-public] BLENDER Maniphest issue T59727: X3D IMPORT EXPORT Missing in 2.8 beta

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

Of general interest is that we have been "hanging fire" for a while, trying to get full X3D support restored as part of the latest Blender 2.80 release.  Apparently this upgrade requires special efforts by one of the primary developers.

Recent messages indicate that this may work by saving out an existing model in Blender 2.79 and retrying in Blender 2.8.

If someone were to test import/export further that might be helpful in focusing where efforts can best be applied.

Future work will certainly include addition of new X3Dv4 capabilities in the Blender import/export repertoire.

Thanks in advance for any efforts in this direction, they will no doubt be widely appreciated.

all the best, Don
