[x3d-public] [X3D-Ecosystem] Reminder - X3D Ecosystem Meeting Feb 10, 2026 - 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific

[Holger Seelig]

InlineGeometry , seems possible. 👍 
Because all files are converted to X3D, and it may be possible to also load X3D files, I would recommend to use the first found X3DGeometryNode in the loaded scene.

Best regards,
Holger

> Thanks for an excellent meeting.  Some inputs:
> x3d.py <https://pypi.org/project/x3d/> module published on PyPi
> HAnim Medical examples <https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/HumanoidAnimation/> now being updated, working on "broken arm" use case that has cast as a coveroid
> X3D-Edit <https://www.web3d.org/x3d/tools/X3D-Edit/X3D-Edit.html> update soon, hopefully including feature for authors to reduce unnecessary precision of floating-point output to reduce file size.
> New topic of potential interest:  create a new X3D node InlineGeometry to support direct loading of STL or PLY geometry files, simplifying the current import process.  Something like
>> InlineGeometry : X3DGeometryNode, X3DUrlObject {
>>   SFTime   [in,out] autoRefresh          0.0      [0,∞)
>>   SFTime   [in,out] autoRefreshTimeLimit 3600.0   [0,∞)\
>>   SFString [in,out] description          ""
>>   SFBool   [in,out] load                 TRUE
>>   SFNode   [in,out] metadata             NULL     [X3DMetadataObject]
>>   MFString [in,out] url                  []       [URI]

>> OK, now wondering if we have a consistent mapping from Blender to X3D (for shapes at least).  Is that written down online, or in the blender export source code somewhere?  That seems necessary step for a corresponding effort that maps .blend files to X3D.
>> Response on call:  blendxml file is serializing blender API in python, then will need to explore how blender constructions can be turned into X3D.
>> 
>> Don 8:27 AM
>> If there are some basic examples and descriptions we might add to the X3D Examples Archives to show good practice.  If it is "ugly" output, we might publish that along with a "cleaned up" version that shows what improvements are possible.  This can help authors using Blender for X3D, and also future improvements to Blender exporters and Blender converters.
