> Does that make a difference with segment child viewpoint? 

No, the viewpoints included in the Humanoid in viewpoints field and the viewpoints associated with a Segment, coded as a Site are not involved in the skinning operation.
Only the Joints play a role in animation of the Humanoid skin field. 
I can't think of a current situation with the host where the choice of skinning (meaning using the joint skincoordindex and skincoordweight to animate the mesh) would need to be done in cpu rather than gpu. Old days without graphics accelerator? Isn't webgl everywhere? 
Go for GPU only, with no option. The user could turn off gpu?

Thanks,
Joe

If you have a command line option for that, I can try it.  I’m fairly non-launcher oriented.  My ideal is to have X3D running in a terminal.  Maybe someday.  They have images over and under text these days, and shaders.  Notcurses might be an approach
 
Thanks,

Thanks for implementing HAnimDisplacers in HAnimSegment. I thought I was losing my mind. 
But I question what happens when you put a Viewpoint inside an HAnimSegment.  Maybe the standard needs to be clarified.
 
No worries, I moved the Viewpoint(s) outside the Humanoid.  Easy peasy!
 
I realize if you put a camera in someone’s hand, you want the Viewpoint to move with the hand.  Perhaps other implementors should take notice.  In my HAnim application I don’t have any hands!
