Questions tagged [x3d]

X3D is a markup language for 3D graphics.

Extensible 3D Graphics (X3D) is the royalty-free open ISO standard for publishing, viewing and archiving interactive 3D models on the Web. X3D scene graphs include geometry, animation and user interaction.

X3D encodings include XML (.x3d extension) and ClassicVRML (.x3dv extension), with renewed standardization work on JavaScript Object Notation (.json), efficient binary encoding (SRC+EXI) and a run-time Java API (X3DJSAIL).

Multiple tools, converters and applications are available, with open-source and commercial support. Further information and many resources can be found at
