2012 Interoperability

Resources

There are many resources for interoperability available:

  • Website "New to X3D"
  • X3D Resources
  • Player support
  • Tool support
  • X3D Examples
  • Nightly builds

Open Source

Open Source codebases make achieving interoperability even easier too:

  • Xj3D
  • X3DOM
  • FreeWRL/FreeX3D
  • Castle
  • OpenVRML
  • others...

Quality Assurance (QA)

The X3D Validator provides a server-based suite of tests to help ensure the quality of X3D scenes and metadata. Validation tests include:

  • XML header and DOCTYPE checking for correct document headers
  • Well-formed XML checking
  • X3D DTD and XML Schema checking for valid X3D nodes, fields and values
  • X3D Schematron rule checking to verify semantic correctness and detect internal-consistency problems
  • X3D to ClassicVRML conversion checks a variety of legal X3D constructs
  • Regular expression checking for malformed floating-point numbers and excess leading zeros
  • X3D to XHTML conversion pretty-print listing to check online URL links, document ROUTE connections, and provide node tooltips

Example scenes for this year

  • Extrusion: Moebius Strip Bushings
  • ImageTexture TextureTransform
  • Web3D Time Line (both X3D and X3DOM)
  • X3D for Advanced Modeling preview: San Carlos Cathedral

CAD group recommendations for export

  • CAD Interchange profile, includes simple CAD structure nodes
  • 2D nodes
  • NURBS
  • Binary Compression

2010

2010 Plugfest Content - 24-29 July 2010 - Web3D Symposium, SIGGRAPH

How about another Plugfest?

  • When/where? Web3D 2010 Symposium and/or SIGGRAPH 2010?
  • Getting organized around priority "Bugs of the month" that we document for all active browsers
  • Who is tracking each browser and reporting the bugs?
  • Demo how to use X3D-Edit to launch one or many browsers at a time on individual test scenes
  • How to best report and track status of successes and problems?

"simpleShader.zip" 26 May 2009 John Stewart, CRC Canada GLSL Shader test that uses a modified "toon" shader; light intensity on Spheres is shown where the color is dependent on intensity; the intensity bounding values are passed into the shader Should display on hardware supporting GLSL shaders; Spheres will be "ringed". On non-GLSL systems, Spheres will be a uniformly shaded light blue Public
Media:UrlInProtoTest.zip 12 June 2009 Patrick Dähne, Fraunhofer IGD The X3D spec does not specify how to resolve relative URLs in EXTERNPROTOs. Some X3D Browsers resolve them relative to the EXTERNPROTO declaration, some to the EXTERNPROTO instantiation. Open the file "UrlInProtoTest.wrl" in different browsers. Some will show yellow textured boxes, and some will show cyan textured boxes. Which behaviour is correct? Public

The goal of the each X3D Plugfest is to foster interoperability between X3D players. Each Plugfest is a regular event that brings content authors, authoring tool vendors and browser implementers together to work on interoperability issues. Consistent quality for X3D content helps everyone.

This is the navigation home page for the upcoming X3D Plugfests. Content will be linked from this page for everyone's review.

Please note: Submitted .x3d files must be zipped before being uploaded. Alternatively, links to online content can be provided.

Description fields: Include a description of your content, or else a description of the problem and any results from the browsers you've tested.

Content Release Option: Specify whether the content can be released publicly or just distributed to browser implementers for testing.
