X3D Developers
X3D & Related Specifications
- X3D Draft Specifications including the framework, encodings and language bindings
- X3D Schema & DTD
- Humanoid Animation (H-Anim) Specification (ISO/IEC-19774) which details an abstract representation for modeling three dimensional human figures
- VRML97 Specification which is the predecessor to X3D and includes the base functionality and text encoding for VRML as well as the External Authoring Interface.
- Spec Feedback Form provides a simple form for developers to report any errors or bugs in any of the specifications, encodings, or bindings.
Sample Code, Tutorials & Models
- Tutorials, Presentations & Books
- Sample Models, Scenes and Script Files
- X3D Authoring Support and Generator Tools
- X3D-Edit is a graphics file editor for X3D that enables simple error-free editing, authoring and validation of X3D or VRML scene-graph files. More specifically it is an XML editor, customized to edit X3D scene graphs. It also can be used to apply style sheet transformations to generate other file types, such as HTML and VRML2.0.
X3D Developer Toolkits, Viewers & Libraries
- A listing of X3D-savvy applications ranging from viewers, to developer tools, to vertical market implementations.
X3D Open Source Projects
- More and more X3D projects are being developed as open source. Xj3D is now an open source. Any developer may contribute to these projects or use them as the basis for their own work.
Xj3D Java-based toolkit and X3D test browser
- Xj3D is a Java-based componetized toolkit and X3D test browser for creating X3D-compliant products.

X3D Conformance Testing
- The Conformance Program for X3D is intended to promote consistent implementations of X3D support by many vendors across multiple platforms, and to create an objective definition of conformance to the X3D standard so that only conformant products may use the X3D trademark.
VRML archives
- A listing of VRML97 applications and tools that could be useful while developers transition to X3D or useful in developing and testing X3D applications.
X3D and VRML public mailing lists
- Sign up for the X3D or VRML public mailing lists. Consortium Members can log in to the members only section of the website and sign up for any of the confidential internal email lists for the Working Groups including CAD, X3D, MED, DIS-XML, and GeoSpatial
