Here is something that appeared on this list you can read.
It makes a sphere out of many parts, sort of like that box you read that was made from four sides.
This is xml, but the main idea is what is each language element, what are the parameters, and what does it do?
How does each work with others? If you know that for vrml or xml it is the same information.

When you want to know more about any of this then try asking a specific question like what is:
<OrientationInterpolator DEF='OI_Camera_yaw1'
key='0 .25 .5 .75 1'
keyValue=' 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1.57 0 1 0 3.14 0 1 0 4.71 0 1 0 6.28'/>
or read the “spec” at web3d.org.
Also, from what you said about your tools, the most simple way is to use one of the html browsers that support user graphics, and maybe you really want to look at how the OpenGL and the webGL and other graphics stuff is supported on your platform.

Copy and paste the above X3D into dearest Geany (nice teapot) then try to run the thing using firefox web browser x3dom using:
http://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/flame3.xhtml
Since it is all text you can copy from here and paste it into
http://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/
to try out X-ITE as well …
All Best Fates,

No, you will not need to be proficient in XML to start learning X3D.
The XML encoding of X3D does not use the more complex features of XML.
The key to success is remembering that though XML 'looks like' HTML, most XML parser are intolerant of not closing tags.
Most developers' text editors can detect XML syntax errors.
Moreover, as discussed earlier, you can make good progress learning X3D and continue using VRML syntax.
