[x3d-public] [AI] MCCF Milestone: Emotion Field Translation and XML Export

[Don Brutzman]

Models in Legacy are old (HAnim version 1, X3D version 3) and many cannot
work with X3D4.

I'd suggest the Jin models at whichever LOA complexity you'd prefer.  If
you find that one is invalid, we'll fix it.

all the best, Don
