[x3d-public] bridging the gap between Khronos' and the Web3D consortium's standards

[John Carlson]

Hmm.  I’m going to look into how I can use a deforming vertex shader with PlayCanvas.  It seems like things are moving away from fancy geometry generation outside the shader.  Bye bye for a while.

The proposed extensions KHR_binary_glTF and WEB3D_quantized_attributes have been actively developed by a team of experts, including the instant3Dhub team. This development will be bridging the gap between Khronos' and the Web3D consortium's standards, and it will help to ensure that instant3Dhub keeps using well-specified, standard technology. This makes instant3Dhub even safer for long-term use and helps us to ensure backwards compatibility.
