[x3d-public] Experience with conversions.

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

John, to ensure there is no unintended misunderstanding:  X3D is designed and specified so that it might work equivalently across all file encodings, programming languages, operating systems, and presentation platforms.

 

“Are we there yet?” well I guess not, but it does feel like we are steadily improving, especially with finalization of X3D 4 Architecture providing a common functional definition throughout.

 

So all successes are compliance, and all gaps are therefore either erroneous model content or else incomplete implementations. Quality assurance (QA) efforts continue.

Onward we go.  Have fun with X3D!   8)

 

all the best, Don

I believe the old X3DV (original) does not do skinned animations, but the Classic VRML as created by Michalis does work, AFAICT.  XML no.   So you have to go VRML -> XML -> VRML to get a working model in X_ITE. I think this is due to the DEF/USE misordering.

tovrmlx3d.exe does XML => Classic VRML

x3d-tidy does Classic VRML => XML (but no skin animation?, VRML in X_ITE works great!)

 

YMMV.

 

Praise to everyone as I now have working XML and X3DV!
