</div>> What I want is programmatic control of the scenegraph.Please investigate the X3D SAI. You can take control of a browser, then build and interact with the scene. And you can share it with others. Really, have a good look at SAI external and internal interfaces. Challenge to find better model for live, realtime, interactive scenegraph. > So input XML, programmatically manipulate the scenegraph, and export scenegraph to XML. Right, basically any x3d browser needs to do that. You can create a gui to help authortime or interface directly through the SAI, then when you are ready, just create a text file showing the current scene user code. Text in and text out.> I don’t wish to change hierarchical relationships of the Humanoid, just the numbers.The hierarchical relationships are designed to be flexible, but realistic in articulation. It appears to me that the science is putting some numbers in the right place and the art is getting those numbers to perform.>I’m not sure what the abstract SAI does.Then this will be a great epic voyage.And, hopefully not a test of your patience with x3d toolmakers.

<div dir="auto">Okay, as I thought before, HAnimDisplacers are for skin. I read the standard a bit. What I want is programmatic control of the scenegraph. Not for visual animation, but to put the humanoid in a certain position, like server-side headless (lol) animation.

<div dir="auto">Would X3DJSAIL or x3d.py include libraries to transform a HAnim Humanoid? This would be an important addition/example. I know Joe has been pushing me in this direction.</div>

<div dir="auto">This is important because we are getting VRML code out of tools which aren’t HAnim, and we can probably transform them to HAnim. WIP.</div>

<div dir="auto">I do not know if DOM is adequate for doing Matrix multiplication, but I think we should be able to do the transforms anywhere in the scenegraph, not just DOM.</div>
