Thanks for the helpful considerations.<br>
<br>
To be precise, PNG and JPG image formats are required for an X3D player.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.web3d.org/files/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/texturing.html#ImageTexture" target="_blank">http://www.web3d.org/files/<u></u>specifications/19775-1/V3.3/<u></u>Part01/components/texturing.<u></u>html#ImageTexture</a><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
18.4.1 ImageTexture<br>
Browsers shall support the JPEG (see 2. [JPEG]) and PNG (see ISO/IEC 15948) image file formats. In addition, browsers may support other image formats (EXAMPLE CGM, ISO/IEC 8632) that can be rendered into a 2D image. Support for the GIF format (see [GIF]) is also recommended (including transparency).<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
GIF is currently recommended, but will likely become required since it is so common and no longer encumbered. That was the only reason it wasn't required in the first place.<br>
<br>
So, the prior proposal was whether to make BMP a recommended format for X3D player support in the preceding specification section.<br>
<br>
Also under consideration: Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) as a candidate ImageTexture format. Feedback welcome.<br>
<br>
p.s. there aren't any sudden moves happening here... X3D v3.4 will take some time to play out. Meanwhile X3D players are always welcome to add support for any formats they wish.<br>
<br>
all the best, Don<br>
