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

[John Carlson]

What I’m seeing is areas of glass-like transparency when importing XML from
the .blend file after exporting XML.

It’s puzzling, but I like the effect.   I haven’t really been able to
validate thrall I have the ShaderGraph exported and imported properly so I
can see it
