Lauren, you were clear enough - I was just reinterpreting a bit because I don't think I have seen such a thing for x3d. But there are some potential candidates as a starting point, such as vos, vrspace or deepmatrix, to perhaps link with an X3D browser. I just don't know enough about them to comment on their specific strengths/weaknesses.

Granted. And Flux Player/Studio are probably as close to X3D game engine's rendering and authoring tools as it gets right now. Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly. What I am looking for is an actual complete or partial open source client/server implementation that can work with X3D.
