[x3d-public] Worth to mention, X_ITE improvements of las 6 month

[Michalis Kamburelis]

That's an impressive list of features, thank you!

One thing that caught my attention: "GPU accelerated ParticleSystems".
In connection to this, questions:

- Do you have more complex / impressive examples of using X3D particle systems?

- Do you have some authoring pipeline for particle systems in X3D
(aside from "hacking in a text editor" :) )? Any tool able to design /
export X3D particle systems?

Context: We are working on particle systems in CGE (also with a
GPU-accelerated implementation). We wonder whether it is worth
aligning our capabilities with X3D nodes for particle systems.
Practically speaking, it depends on whether there's any authoring tool
support for X3D particle systems.

Regards,
Michalis
