The Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics standard has many capabilities. X3D components are modular collections of nodes that make it easier for software to gradually implement the full range of X3D capabilities.

Authors can also indicate what components are needed in an X3D scene in order to ensure that proper support is provided at run time.

This table records support for the official X3D components by each of the various X3D players. It is maintained by the X3D Working Group and member companies in the Web3D Consortium.

  • The X3D Resources page provides lots of additional information about X3D.
  • Please Contact Web3D if you want to learn more or report an update.
  • The X3D Node Inventory Comparison (.pdf) shows implementation coverage of the X3D Abstract Specification, X3D Schema, X3D DOCTYPE, X3D-Edit, X3DOM, and VRML97 node sets.

Table key

  • yes all nodes, all fields supported for all levels of this component (though some bugs may be present)
  • partial some nodes and fields supported
  • level # which component level number (1-4) is supported (found at end of each component specification)
  • no no support provided
  • ? unknown, need status report
