Amazing, truly, but that scene is only a bitty patch of water and a picker and propagation model and four duckies and the walls. Fine, well I want the duckies to make waves as they follow the picker over to the froggy, who has a message for them. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><a href="https://threejs.org/examples/?q=water#webgl_gpgpu_water">three.js examples (threejs.org)</a></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any of those could have an x3d implementation using canonical encodings. Sure, it is appropriate for hosts to expose current and legacy web of the gl, and maybe more, to a script running in the browser but still, we are looking for best practices of organizing data for authoring and vizualization, not just for transport, but for live realtime connected scenegraph authoring (typing numbers, operating controls, even) and realtime-anytime interactions with other authors and simulations. This means more than just spraying binary data and meta for viz, composing, and animation frames from workstation to workstation finally to make a video. Mainly, we want to be able to jam with the numbers some machine or human may give us. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>x3d can do any of that? If not, then what is missing for nodes and fields, or scripting? </p><p class=MsoNormal>So, to me, even if the stage, the water, the water waves, pick interactions, and the duckies were produced in a set of scripts all assembled from an assortment of data packages to keep it responsive, then we need a node or set of related nodes that provide necessary inOut for those scripts. The script then becomes part of the prototype node(s) which produce the interactions. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,</p><p class=MsoNormal>Joe</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:yottzumm@gmail.com">John Carlson</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Monday, March 14, 2022 2:47 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:x3d-public@web3d.org">X3D Graphics public mailing list</a><br><b>Subject: </b>[x3d-public] Fluid example from the web:</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Here’s an interactive fluid example using three.js: <a href="https://threejs.org/examples/?q=water#webgl_gpgpu_water">https://threejs.org/examples/?q=water#webgl_gpgpu_water</a></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On phone, drag your finger along the top of the water.</p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Enjoy!</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Mon, Mar 14, 2022 at 4:36 PM John Carlson <<a href="mailto:yottzumm@gmail.com">yottzumm@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:9.6pt'>I’ve renewed my membership.
