[x3d-public] Search by 3d model

[Leonard Daly]

John,

Browsers do not support plugins anymore. You can have an add-on, but the 
processing is not the same.

The site (http://shape.cs.princeton.edu/search.html) does not say, but I 
suspect that their database is rather outdated now because they don't 
have recent formats (sketch-up, FBX, glTF). I am not sure that the 
engine would be of much use. The research work they are doing might be, 
but it does not appear to be publicly implemented at this time.

I don't think a scene graph would be a good way to go. The same visual 
model may be represented in significantly different scene graphs. I 
still my original suggestion of keyword and/or image search would be best.
