[x3d-public] best way to implment Gltf2 in web3d browser: converter or native render?

[John Carlson]

I don’t know what a CreateHumanoid node is.

I’m not experienced with MPFB2.

At least 2 people besides me are working on HAnim Blender exporters.

I have a custom JSON HAnim exporter:

coderextreme/JSONHAnimBlenderExport: Export X3D JSON HAnim Blender Export
