Given a x3d browser based on the gl, there will be an x3d scene ulsing canonical x3d nodes that will be used to compute and otherwise derive the exact or comparable .glb file. Of course, for this case the .gsb data may not be organized exactly the same every time, but rendering still possible from a relatively simple loader. Of course this 3d builder also means a small loader for spinning tennis shoes available for any web browser. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, well demonstrated in x3d land sai, it has been done to build a comprehensive editing platform using x3d, but not .gsb or gltf. For ‘standard’ blobs, we can implement user code processing to develop at some point more or less same code structures as .gsb because when you get to there, you have a well established more or less standard path to go ahead and render the stuff using the greatest gl accelerations. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, then the problem remains, is this access to the binary a step forward or backward? Well, it is all forward because of the greater sharing possible. It is a step backwards if it becomes impossible to construct an x3d scenegraph using collections of, for instance gltf text or binary assets, along with standard gsb. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, looking at the .gsb in notepad, </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>glTF<span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>[1]</span> 4Ç+ L JSON{"asset":{"version":"2.0","generator":"THREE.GLTFExporter"},"scenes":</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Simple standard markup with lots of apparently empty spaces. So, given this is a ‘standard’ export, then all we have to do is figure out what “>õ÷²=Ô” is, what a buffer is, and what is in the buffer, and how to get some binary buffers and notations into canonical x3d text. If this can be analyzed and the result input as part of an x3d scene for use with runtime, that would be great since somebody building a basic x3d loader may well be aware of evolutions of .gsb and .gltf and other history. If the data can be reconstructed for use as part of x3d scenegraph with authortime, in canonical text x3d, then that would be true sharing. </p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks and Fun, </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, October 10, 2022 7:29 AM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:joedwil@earthlink.net">Joseph D Williams</a>; <a href="mailto:andreasplesch@gmail.com">Andreas Plesch</a><br><b>Cc: </b><a href="mailto:vmarchetti@kshell.com">Vincent Marchetti</a>; <a href="mailto:x3d-public@web3d.org">X3D-Public</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [x3d-public] An annotations example and project</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Experiences with X3DOM and glb.
