My brain is fried right now, so I'll just answer the simple stuff :) Philip J Colbert wrote:
As for XJ3D my colleague and I have considered looking more into XJ3D but neither of us have any experience with XML and are nervous of undertaking the learning of XJ3D. Again if you could point me in the right direction as to how to go about learning XJ3D I would be grateful.
Xj3D handles all of the file formats. If you're already comfortable with VRML97, you can stick with that. If you want to use some of the newer features of the X3D spec, you can either retain the curly bracket format of the VRML encoding, or you can switch to the XML encoding if you desire. Going to the XML encoding means you have some advantages like the use of stylesheets, but suffers other ambiguities and a few things where the spec isn't 100% settled yet. -- Justin Couch http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/ Java Architect & Bit Twiddler http://www.yumetech.com/ Author, Java 3D FAQ Maintainer http://www.j3d.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Humanism is dead.
