[x3d-public] Blender > Exporting rig transforms to HAnim?

[Michalis Kamburelis]

Blender->glTF exporter from Khronos (
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Blender-IO/ , regularly synched
to the version bundled with Blender) has great support for animations.
Simple animations (changing transformations), shape keys (this means
"CoordinateInterpolator" in X3D), skinning (H-Anim in X3D). And it
supports some more things too :) Like working textures, PBR, custom
properties ("metadata" in X3D).

I indeed dream that someone will have time to upgrade the Blender->X3D
exporter to add there these capabilities, and yes, looking at
Blender->glTF exporter is a reasonable approach for this.

Regards,
Michalis
