Re: support of 3D model plugins

 

and also I would suggest to check the compatibility with VRML format coming from FreeCAD as it is fully compatible in the stable release... A lot of users are already using FreeCAD as 3D modeler both for VRML and MCAD models.

I agree.  At a minimum, we should support the file formats that were
supported before the refactor.  There may not be many folks using X3D
but the few that are will not expect their X3D models to stop working.
We should always strive to maintain backwards compatibility.

Hi all,

As Bernhard pointed, when I added VRML1 support it was mainly because of the 3D content central website.
Overall I think we should try to not make regressions and support at least the same as it was before, otherwise people will not be able to see their projects as it was before.

X3D is an export options of Blender. I dont have knowledge of other sources of X3D files.

"With the responses I've received I will implement a VRML1
parser as well but not an X3D parser (very few people use X3D and those
who do and responded told me that they can probably live without it)."
