[x3d-public] Over next several weeks, I will be ramping up

[vmarchetti at kshell.com]

I do not think any of those libraries implement tesselation, if by tesselation you mean a function that you can pass a high-level description of a geometry , a description being a set of parameters for a  primitive shape, or a larger set for a parametrically defined geometry such as NURBS, and that function returns some kind of mesh. It looks like you need some high powered code such as OpenCascade, C++ with Python binding available. I periodically try to explore whether WebAssembly is a viable way to make this code base work in the browser, with no positive results so far.

In short, I would judge that in-browser tesselation is not yet a useful option to pursue.

Can anyone recommend A-Frame, Three.js, Babylon.js, Unity, X3DOM or X_ITE code for doing tesselation, or is it built into WebGL?  Meanwhile, I will be working on meshes and creating a project, etc.
