The ConformanceNist Test Suite Examples were authored by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to provide complete test set for the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML97). They were automatically converted into X3D and provide approximate coverage for the Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics Immersive Profile. The ConformanceNist X3D Examples Archive was converted from the original VRML Test Suite (VTS) that was produced by a team at the U.S. National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) in 1999. This open-source archive was designed using an interactive conformance testing methodology that continues to work well today. It provides a huge number of rendering and behavior examples to help verify X3D scene and player conformance matching the Immersive Profile of the X3D Specification. Archive support includes X3D-Edit authoring tool, X3D Tooltips, X3D Validator, complete course slidesets and videos, plus this open-source model archive. Source changes are maintained in version control and bug tracking is online.
