X3D Example Archives: Basic, Web 3D Outreach

Web3D Consortium Logo

This directory collects models and scenes for outreach by the Web3D Consortium, the Standards Development Organization (SDO) that supports real-time graphics communication on the Web.

The Web3D Consortium is a nonprofit organization that develops and maintains the X3D, VRML, and H-Anim standards. These are 3D file formats and runtime specifications for the delivery and integration of interactive 3D data over networks.

Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics (X3D) is the open, royalty-free, ISO-standard data language and run-time architecture for 3D graphics. It provides for real-time, interactive, animatable 3D objects displayed in a browser or other network connected or stand-alone display. The simple examples in this directory support the creation of outreach and marketing models for the Web3D Consortium and X3D Graphics. X3D Specification Logo

   CubeLogoPrototype Cube Logo Prototype This file defines a prototype cube of size 2 x 2 x 2. The fields allow any shape to be drawn on the faces.
   ImageMappingExample Image Mapping Example Demonstrate example image mapping to IndexedFaceSet used in Web3dTimeline.x3d
   LogoLetterPrototypes Logo Letter Prototypes This model contains prototype definitions for individual letters designed to be drawn on an exterior face of another shape. A typical example of usage is on the faces of a cube as a logo.
   VirtualRealityHackathonLogo Virtual Reality Hackathon Logo This model defines a spinnable X3D VRH logo for Virtual Reality Hackathon.
   VirtualRealityHackathonLogoLetterPrototypes Virtual Reality Hackathon Logo Letter Prototypes This model defines a spinning X3D VRH logo for Virtual Reality Hackathon, using a cube of size 2 x 2 x 2 with the letter sequence V, R and H appearing twice around the faces. Each sequence is a different colour.
   Web3dLogo Web 3D Logo Extruded 3D text for Web3D Consortium logo, fits inside 8m x 2m x 0.5m box centered at origin
   Web3dTimeline Web 3D Timeline Time line of X3D history with a viewpoint for each milestone. Use PgDown and PgUp to look through each viewpoint. Clicking (selecting) text for any milestone binds that viewpoint, then returns to prior milestone when unclicked (deselected).
