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

[John Carlson]

I will try to view the sand runner bike glTF file to see if the .blend file
you provided reflects what’s in the .glTF.  I’m wondering what the  best
Windows glTF viewer currently is.

If the .blend file isn’t accurate, I will attempt a new .blend file with
Blender 5.0.
