Thanks for your tireless contributions to the Consortium and X3D,
along with this much needed authoring tool to make developing with
the standard much easier!<br>

It has been a busy year! X3D-Edit version 3.3 has now seen over
100 build releases... still with more to do. Many of these
milestones have only been possible due to the contributions of
many people in the X3D Working Group, the Web3D Consortium, and
the Web3D community. Special thanks for helping to achieve this
latest release go out to Holger Seelig for deep-dive Cobweb
sleuthing plus unsung heroes Roy Walmsley and Vince Marchetti. <br>

This release includes multiple improvements for author support
using new panels. Screenshots attached for your convenience and
for the mailing list archives. <br>
<br>
============================================== <br>
<br>
a. Improved X3D-Edit author workflow includes HTML5 DOM export
(using either X3DOM and now Cobweb). Hooray! <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://savage.nps.edu/X3D-Edit/images/X3D-EditToolbarButtons3.png"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://savage.nps.edu/X3D-Edit/images/X3D-EditToolbarButtons3.png</a>
<br>
<br>
Cobweb is different than X3DOM with lots of great capabilities,
especially X3D prototypes. X3D-Edit toolbar buttons now launch
a new HTML5 DOM export panel that exposes the various switches
on the X3D element when it is embedded in an HTML page. The
X3DOM export produces an .xhtml page with the X3D scene fully
embedded. The Cobweb export produces an .html page that links
to a local scene via url list - currently tested satisfactorily
under the latest Firefox browser. <br>
<br>

moz-do-not-send="true">https://savage.nps.edu/X3D-Edit/images/X3D-EditX3domCobwebLaunch.png</a>
<br>
<br>
My hope is that we will continue to correlate and align the
various attributes on the X3D element as we continue to progress
towards full HTML5 support of X3D version 4 via the DOM. This
conversion panel is designed to track and facilitate v4
experimentation for the expected evolution of X3DOM, Cobweb and
other browser-based environments in the coming year. <br>
<br>
============================================== <br>
<br>
b. Rotation Calculator enables authors to list multiple
SFRotation values and compose them into a single rotation.
Buttons are provided throughout the tool wherever an SFRotation
field is available for authoring. <br>
<br>
This composition is equivalent to nesting multiple Transform
nodes one within another, each applying a different rotation.
Authors can enter individual SFRotation values or append a
corresponding Euler axis-angle. Normalization takes care of
degree-to-radian conversion. Order of rotations is important,
so the up/down arrows in the table can help with experimentation
(sometimes called hacking!) until the sequence is correct and
displayed results looks right. A helpful child comment which
contains that list of rotations is also saved so that authors
can re-use the list later, continuing to edit and fine-tune the
composed rotation values. <br>

<br>
<br>
The following example was developed to illustrate that it
works. You can change values yourself in the left (nested) and
right (composed) transformation trees. Note that some
perspective parallax occurs, and so a pair of Viewpoints are
also provided on both sides to help visually confirm confirm
exact matches between techniques. <br>

My hope is this tool will assist the Humanoid Animation (H-Anim)
working group as we proceed towards direct conversion of BVH
motion-capture data files into corresponding H-Anim humanoids
and X3D behavior interpolators. <br>
<br>
============================================== <br>
<br>
c. Axis Lines RGB as a scalable XYZ axis-display option on the
Shape interface. I often find that adding axes is helpful while
modeling, so this feature in the Shape interface is a helpful
complement when rotating and translating geometry. <br>

============================================== <br>
<br>
d. An improved geoSystem Panel helps to make sense of primary
settings and secondary options. The geoSystem field is
applicable to all of the X3D Geospatial nodes. <br>
<br>
============================================== <br>
<br>
e. Updated X3D Schema, DTD and Schematron validation checks for
Quality Assurance (QA) as well as X3D Tooltips are also
included. <br>

The latest validation improvements are also added to the X3D
Validator, both internal to X3D-Edit (use the checkmark button
in author workflow) and online using the X3D Validator: <br>

tandem. Latest greatest is checked into SourceForge trunk,

The running inventory of X3D node support by X3D-Edit, X3DOM,
Cobweb and Xj3D are maintained in the X3D Node Inventory
Comparison spreadsheet. Slowly the totals keep creeping
higher... <br>

============================================== <br>
<br>
Questions, corrections and suggestions are always welcome. <br>
<br>
It has been quite a year. 2016 will likely be just as eventful
with continuing progress in X3D JSON, X3D Object Model, X3D
Efficient Binary Encoding and (most of all) X3D version 4.
Backing up proposed improvements with shared examples,
implementations and evaluation has always been the key to X3D
progress. <br>
<br>
Wishing everyone a happy new year. Have fun with Cobweb,
X3D-Edit and X3D! 8) <br>
<br>
all the best, Don <br>
