[X3D-Ecosystem] Dec 10 - Ecosystem Meeting Agenda

   From previous minutes



   * Blender does not have a “center” in joints and transforms


   Response:


   Instead it has bone head and tail. The bone head is the parent joint
   center. Bone head and tails don’t have to match up in a joint, where they
   do in X3D. Instead, there’s a hierarchy of bones.


   Problem:


   There’s no evidence that Objects (with Transforms) have a center, but
   some simple animations are achievable anyway. And I believe you can also
   set a point to rotate around (effectively a center).


   There’s a huge unsolved problem with animation and action import.


   Getting working examples of Python with LLMs might guide implementers
   who know nothing of Blender.
