[X3D-Ecosystem] reminder Blender X3D Support call Jan 7 2025

[vmarchetti at kshell.com]

Responding to the request for test .blend or .gltf files that demonstrate animation:

There is an animated "sandrunner", some kind of turbine powered hovering moped from Star Wars, that's been incorporated as a gltf inline in an X3D scene here: https://metagrid1.sv.vt.edu/~bsandbro/gltf 

The scene.gltf, scene.bin, and texture files can be downloaded from this folder : https://metagrid1.sv.vt.edu/~bsandbro/gltf/bike/

This model is originally from SketchFab : https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/hover-bike-the-rocket-8b2e5bfca78e41c791b4e5b5e8c04512

After downloading the scene.gltf and the resources (scene.bin, textures folder) I was able to import into Blender 4.2.1  There were some odd artifacts which were handled as discussed by others at https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/117812

I have put the resulting .blend file in the "submitted files" folder for the Jan 7 call. The url to download this sandrunner_bike.blend file is

I've added a Blender and a camera and it renders fine as a static model. I don't know if the animation works, because I don't know how to make any animation work in Blender :) I hope to learn enough from Michalis Tuesday to find out.

I hope these files help to test your exporter code

To be accurate, the static TextureTransform is exported, the interpoolator nodes and ROUTE statements which serve to animate the TextureTransform fields are not exported. I hope that reviewing, with Michalis' help, the Blender way of handling animation will help guide how to export this animation to X3D.
