X3D components are functional collections of nodes that make it easier for players to implement X3D graphics.

This table records support for official X3D components by each of the various X3D players. It is maintained by the X3D Working Group and the various Web3D Consortium member companies.


TODO list:

  • Player companies need to report their software support levels
  • How to post bugs and comments? To x3d-public list, individual companies, or what?
  • Once this page is well designed, create the following tables and cross-link each when available
  • Create table for X3D authoring tools: Vivaty Studio, X3D-Edit
  • Create table for X3D conversion tools


Table key:

  •    yes     all nodes, all fields supported for all levels of this component (though some bugs may be present)
  • partial   some nodes and fields supported
  • level #   which component level number (1-4) is supported
  •    no       no support provided
  •     ?        unknown, need status report provided by owner of viewer
