[x3d-public] Units for BVH vs HAnimMotion.values

[Joe D Williams]

> otherwise specified in a UNIT statement

"However, the world coordinate units may be modified by specifying a different length unit using the UNIT statement."

There is Not Now nor will there Ever be a UNIT statement that allows degrees for rotation and orientation. 

Never, will angles appear in any x3d animation interpolator. 
To apply an import using angle units, it is converted to x3d before use, then discarded or possibly stored somewhere away from working area for reference.  

Thanks and Best,
Joe

Apparently BVH uses degrees for rotations.  Units for HAnimMotion should use radians unless otherwise specified in a UNIT statement, AFAIK. 
Comments?
 
Thanks!
