RE: [www-vrml] X3D converter translator list?

[Leonard Daly <daly@realism.com>]

I did write an article for VRML97 -> X3D conversion about a year and
half ago. I was written for e3dNews
(http://e3dNews.com/)
and currently is located on About
(http://3dgraphics.about.com/library/weekly/aa033103a.htm).
The article covers the basics of conversion. 

The spec has changed some since the article was written, but the
conversion is still the same. If you would like to see additional
information in a future article, please let me know.
