[x3d-public] Can you get this X3D animation imported into Blender?

[John Carlson]

Okay, I think I can send glTF examples of Jin 20.

It will take quite a bit more possible work to produce HAnim
joints,segments and sites, but this work needs to be done, translating
EMPTYs to something besides transforms.

I will have to temporarily remove possible prefixes in HAnim DEFs so I can
look up what to convert EMPTYs to.  In otherwords, I think I can convert
the EMPTYs to transforms already.  I will have to create sets of HAnim
joints, segments and sites to test against.

This seems like a path forward.

Two immediate products should be gltf output and non-hanim output.
