[X3D-Ecosystem] Blender XML read/write, codename Blixemel

[Bergstrom, Aaron]

All,

The next Ecosystem meeting is Tuesday, Feb 10th at 11am Easter, 8am Pacific.

I see that the Web3D events page has the wrong time. I’ll reach out to Anita to have the Event Calendar updated.

Thanks for catching that John.

Aaron

Correction, Tuesday, Feb 10th at 8am CST, unless someone tells me otherwise.

Note that I’ve been accepting changes to handle FBX/glTF armatures, and they might not apply to other armatures.  If someone wants me to use a different type of imported armature, please provide a .blend test case.   I imagine that there will be a USDSkel and MPFB2 plugin eventually, depending on how Blender upgrades go.  Apparently, my version of MPFB2 didn’t work with Blender 5.0.   Note that I’m strictly working with .blend native files.

I am mildly optimistic that we can use my exporter as a PBR sample export for X3D.

I hope to report progress on Feb 13th.

Can see and animate bones in wrong position, but bones aren't directly tied to meshes, apparently.
