H-anim conformance is important, everyone knows that. Collada is good for
moving loosely contracted assets, but H-anim is the crown jewel for obvious
reasons.

You put your finger on the major issue: cost. The energy budget is a part
of the noise factor of any communications network, artificial or organized.
The web is predated by better designs with regards to noise and is a bit of
a botch with respect to quality in terms of how it has been marketed.
Understood completely and I know how SSL, checksums, asymmetric keys, etc
work but without the understanding that content drifting away from its
original sources corrupts means the buyer doesn't understand the technical
solution is not the whole solution.
In effect, regardless of the wrapper,
Versioning yes, but also vetting and revetting of sources. The further you
get from original sources in any communication system, the more noise you
incur without adequate checks. Shannon 101. Names alone won't do it.
I put a trivia test at my personal blog just for a Do you trust Google and

First of all I should mention that I don't speak for VOS/Interreality 3D --
which you seem to be assuming I do. I'm just an enthusiast following their
progress and hoping to contribute a bit.
I've lurked on the list for a few years now. There are lots of projects but
this one has staying power
We learned the really hard way in the early years of VRML to take it slow
when trying to create something intended to scale out the Internet. I won't
quarrel with your requirements but I also am very leary of anything that
reeks of Snowcrash-like thinking or visions. We got burned because that

that much closer to a true interconnected 3d universe on the internet.
Someone has to stop playing it safe for anything revolutionary to occur.
But what's wrong with snowcrash-like thinking or visions anyway? ;)

have some vague ideas on what we want our specific niches
within 3D to be-- Peter and I may not even be able to explain it
well yet.
So, we're just trying to implement what we can, so we can show it to
people and eventually find a niche.

I agree 150% because I begged for that clean up. The unfortunate reality
was the people designing the Schema weren't that experienced with Schema
design OR XML and they did some ill-conceived things. Schema was very new
when they started (else RELAX would have been a better choice but it didn't
V-Realm Builder was and still is excellent. I won a copy in a contest over
a decade ago and that was my entry point. I still use it because it is all
VRML and has a great terrain editor and index face set utility, and easy
treeview interface, great support for sequencing and routing, etc. Big
How is XML restricting you? It doesn't care how you use the tree. There
are things that look silly to an XMLer that may have a legitimate
application. Bits like
parent name=''
children/children/parent
look like someone didn't understand structure given by XML, but they aren't
illegal and
Be fair, Peter. It is the X3D instance you have to import, not the schema.
The schema is baroque to put it mildly. I'm not sure if it is used for
import. BS Contact has a validating switch, but I've not tried it. The
schema is useful for the x3d-edit utility, but even then, not too many peole
I'm not sure I get what you are after. I have software to compress audio
(eg, make an MP3), resample it (eg, make 32-bit into 16-bit and reset
44.1khz as 22khz, 11khz or yeaccchhh 8khz). What you may be looking for is
something like Soundcast that streams it to the PCs. JOI uses that as I
X3D has a physics specification underway. One is already being integrated
into Contact. X3D already has shaders and scripting plus a metadata node
for indicating semantics. Since the objects you mention below can be notatd
as say DEF Tree and referenced by that name, I'm not sure what you want
It was expected. It gives them a way to push the financing of the
development off to organizations like IBM and to claim they are an open
platform. They need to do something to stop the burning of the VC capital
and they have to solve out some very difficult technical problems.
