[X3D-Ecosystem] Tried another tack with blender loader

[John Carlson]

Here's another picture with LineSets more visible, and visible empties.

After that, I present Jin 11g.

Here's Jin 11g. Note how most of the geometry is outside of hanim_JinLOA4S,
and in HudXform. I'd like to solve the Humanoid *animation* problem
before solving the DEF/USE problem, if possible.  The sample program for
the simple thing I'm trying to achieve, proper *animation* of Humanoids,
with Sites, Segments and Joints.  Hopefully, we can create a humanoid
example with animation and less reliance on USE nodes.  LOA4 is okay, we
just need a lot fewer uses of USE.  Thanks!

Here are the rotating empties, without any geometry with Jin 11g:

I have yet to conquer the DEF/USE issue, so a non-USE (except for joints,
segments and sites fields--I ignore those) would be useful.  I believe the
importer already handles DEF/USE.  I'm trying to work on animation.


Further progress will probably mean going back to the Blender importer, it
has much better handling of DEF/USE, perhaps.

What I will do is work on a standard LOA4 skeleton without USE, and try to
add animation.
