X3D Example Archives: Basic, X3D Specifications

These examples are used in the X3D Specifications to illustrate correct X3D usage and capabilities.

The X3D Abstract Specification authoritatively defines the functionality of X3D scenes. It specifically describes how geometry rendering and user interaction can be accomplished on any 3D device. Multiple file encodings (.x3d, .x3dv, .x3db) and multiple language bindings (ECMAScript .js, Java .java) can equivalently represent an X3D scene. These examples support five different X3D specifications:

XML encoding (.x3d file extension) scenes found in the XML encoding examples.
Classic VRML encoding (.x3dv file extension). Autogenerated examples matching the master .x3d model can be compared favorably to the Classic VRML encoding examples.
Compressed Binary Encoding (CBE) (.x3db file extension). Autogenerated examples matching the master .x3d model can be compared favorably to the Binary encoding examples.
ECMAScript Scene Access Interface (SAI) scenes and source (.js file extension) are provided that match the X3D ECMAScript language binding examples.
TODO, transcription work in progress.
Java Scene Access Interface (SAI) scenes and source (.java file extension) are provided that match the X3D Java language binding examples.
TODO, testing in progress.

The orb follows the user around on his tour. A ProximitySensor ensures that the tour is started only if the user is close to the initial starting point. Note that this is done without scripts thanks to the touchTime output of the TouchSensor. Specification reference: X3D encodings, ISO/IEC 19776-1.3, Part 1: XML encoding, Annex C.17 Guided tour

To do this, it remembers whether or not the correct combination has been entered. The Script node combined with a Sphere, a TouchSensor and a Sound node to show how is works. When the pointing device is over the sphere, the combinationEntered eventIn of the Script is sent. Then, when the Sphere is touched (typically when the mouse button is pressed) the Script is sent the openVault eventIn. This generates the vaultUnlocked eventOut which starts a click sound.
