Authors can publish X3D and VRML source online within an HTML5 page with X_ITE that works with Web browsers without prior plugin installation. This gives X3D authors the ability to displays content in 3D, using WebGL 3D graphics technology to display X3D content in several different browsers across several different operating systems. Since X3D is backwardly compatible, X_ITE can also be used as a VRML viewer.<u></u><u></u></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc"><li style="margin-left:0in">X_ITE Playground<u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-left:0in"><a href="https://create3000.github.io/x_ite/playground" target="_blank">https://create3000.github.io/x_ite/playground</a><u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-left:0in">Includes different rendering options (point, wireframe, flat, phong), scaling, etc. Example screenshot attached.<u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-left:0in">Rendering changes occur immediately as you edit the model source, super helpful for exploring and debugging.<u></u><u></u></li></ul><p><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">This is similar in many ways to the also-excellent X3DOM Editor by Andreas Plesch, released earlier this year.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc"><li style="margin-left:0in">X3DOM editor: Edit X3D code; HelloWorld.x3d<u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-left:0in"><a href="https://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/index.html" target="_blank">https://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/index.html</a><u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-left:0in"><a href="https://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/index.html?url=https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dForAdvancedModeling/HelloWorldScenes/HelloWorld.x3d" target="_blank">https://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/index.html?url=https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dForAdvancedModeling/HelloWorldScenes/HelloWorld.x3d</a><u></u><u></u></li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Am thrilled to report that both X_ITE Playground and X3DOM Editor are available for thousands of models in our X3D Example Archives, published under an Web3D Consortium open-source license.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc"><li style="margin-left:0in">X3D Resources: X3D Example Archives<u></u><u></u></li><li style="margin-left:0in">The X3D Examples Archives demonstrate how X3D nodes and scenes work.
