[x3d-public] Forums

[Joseph D Williams]

➢ Thanks. I am also looking for forums on technologies like Unity which allow fast scenes creating and many languages forums

Web3D x3d forums are mainly standards-track based. Questions to and from authors and implementers with several specialty lists. .  
For instance for HAnim, a Standards-track main idea to implement best practice for certain sets of features of certain fidelity for related data sets. For instance the skeleton is realistic with set of Joint names is intended to match Medical usage. The set of surface feature Site locations are named for measured landmarks used in various national and international standards. There is a certain pose prior to animation. These are intended as a baseline for being a “Standard” Humanoid. 
The main documentation for our x3d HAnimHumanoid is xml schema and object model standards that allow, for instance, a user to declare that the model is an official ‘Standard’ Humanoid because it includes a validated hierarchy  structure and a ‘Standard’ set of names. Or, that it is different than the official ‘Standard’ model. 
Measurement details are not part of the spec but human-scale measurements are recommended. 
X3D HAnim documents this standardized structure with tools to extend this basic,  transportable, reusable model to whatever it takes for best result. 
More animated Joint objects? More interactive feature points? Special accessories? Scripted behaviors? Different names? All are your choice to document your ‘Standard’ model(s) and extend, with validation, as you wish. 
Supporting x3d schema is open with many open authoring and validation tools.   
Delivery based on best interactive realtime tools of WWW.
All good, 
Joe

• What forums on x3d and programming topics have very fast answers besides stackoverflow? 
 
Well, what is the question? If it  is about X3D,, except for specialized questions best handled by dedicated working groups, most can be answered here. 
 
• … forums for engines like Unity, fast scenes, cartoons? 
 
If you wish to supply 3D for the web and are truly interested in innovations to postings and commentary  using the internet, then use an engine aimed at realtime anytime interactive shared or private best practice 3d engine aimed directly at our world wild web. Author a realistic or not character for yourself and create or import into your or their environments. Know that sooner or later, if you are having fun, then you will want to look at and edit details of the user code, and even examine and edit runtime results.
Plus, x3d is for free.
Base you selection on its support for the close to the metal data structures as well as human-readable user code backed by World-standard syntax and conformance details. There exists many ways to draw stuff and structure the data encoding your interface with yours and others. Then when you want to publish to WWW then you want to use the standard. Using an x3d-based engines (yes, multiple x3d engines available) you can publish using instruments based on realtime or engines mainly intended for making videos. You can always build a walled garden using a proprietary set of tools, but think, if you want to be open then you choose open tools. 
Also, under the covers, all the data for things and events is the same, only the names are changed to protect autonomy, function, purpose, and application of the data structures. 
Have some fun with realtime interactive 3D. Some call it 4D, meaning animation in spacetime, and that is fine, but X3D with its proven and robust data environment is really nD+1.  The more you look, the more you will find. 
Joe

Hi
What forums on x3d and programming topics have very fast answers besides stackoverflow? 
Also good if they have another topics
 
Also what's best systems and forums for engines like Unity, fast scenes, cartoons?
