[X3D-Ecosystem] X_ITE vs X3DOM - Missing Texture

[Bergstrom, Aaron]

Vince,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I just took a look at the X3DOM documentation, and it looks like it doesn't support X3D 4.0, which I'm sure everyone else here probably knows. I'm still playing a bit of catch up, I guess.

According to the X3DOM documentation, the Material node does not contain any texture fields.
https://doc.x3dom.org/developer/x3dom/nodeTypes/Material.html

I stored the texture in the diffuseTexture field of the Material node, and not the 'texture' field of the Appearance node.

I'm re-evaluating the process for exporting for X3DOM.

Thanks,

Aaron

I believe that X3DOM does not traverse the "backup" urls that are included in the TextureImage url field. 
I see from the x3d file at https://vr.csgrid.org/x3dom/swordtest.x3d that you have supplied 3 urls.
I could not determine from your bug description which image files would be accessible in your scenarios.

A test could be to rearrange your url field in the x3d file ImageTexture node so that the https:// protocol url is first, and ensure that the image file is accessible even under CORS restrictions -- use https://cors-test.codehappy.dev/ to check this.
