[x3d-public] Another great idea...x3d.py

[John Carlson]

>From other posts, we are striving for standards/browser compliance which
x3d.py does not currently adhere to, AFAIK, which is why we are branching
out for Blender export.  We’re totally on board to feedback any changes
required for a standard compliant x3d.py that will enable Humanoid
Animation exports in XML and VRML. But at this point, we feel that an
explicit request for updates to x3d.py should be made.

This thread is about Blender X3D import, which seems totally green field,
except I’ve written a Perl Script that creates a skeleton in Blender
python.  Yes, we do need to study to create design correspondences.

I’m merely offering my ideas to help people along the design path, I’m not
ready to write a whole stylesheet or significantly modify a stylesheet.
I’m guessing a tool like MapForce or similar with human help could help
along the path.  I do not have such tools.
