<p class="MsoNormal">Looking ahead: when X3D-Blender experts think that Blender is far enough along, we might consider adding unit tests to the X3D Examples Archives that exercise Blender import/export, either via command-line (build script) invocation or Blender
Python API. We might do this selectively or comprehensively for all examples. This approach would likely also permit export of screenshots corresponding to each Viewpoint in a scene, providing visual feedback on correctness as well as diff-ability of selected
results in version control. Examples with history follow. Interesting possibilities…<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The failure to export to X3D was noted and fixed by Andreas Plesch on Dec 27, 2021, and committed to the Blender git repository for add-ons, see <a href="https://developer.blender.org/rBA1679f2fdbb1373a255b98b69c6dc2f8a90e7170a" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://developer.blender.org/rBA1679f2fdbb1373a255b98b69c6dc2f8a90e7170a</a>

<p class="MsoNormal">With this fix the HelloWorld.x3d example can be imported into Blender 3 and exported as X3D. It is still the case that the export from Blender does not include the ImageTexture node in the Appearance node for the globe. Fixing this failure
to include ImageTexture nodes in X3D exports is one of the goals to be addressed in our BlenderX3DSupport project on github: <a href="https://github.com/Web3DConsortium/BlenderX3DSupport" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/Web3DConsortium/BlenderX3DSupport</a> <u></u><u></u></p>
