All HAnim Standards

Extensible 3D (X3D) Graphics and Humanoid Animation (HAnim) include a coordinated set of steadily evolving ISO standards. The Web3D Consortium Standards Strategy carefully improves and evolves our standards while maintaining long-term archival stability. These standards are developed, tested, maintained and updated by Web3D Consortium members. Following public comment and approval by the Web3D Consortium, they are submitted to International Standards Organization (ISO) for a series of annual reviews. The X3D Working Group proceeds at the best speed supported by member and public contributions.

The Consortium has documented the Standards Adoption Process. Stable progress is paramount: we only advance standards when they are ready. Backwards compatibility is maintained to the fullest extent possible, and so older versions of the X3D (and even VRML97) remain consistently correct and validatable in the latest version 3.3 of the X3D International Standard. Questions, comments and contributions are always welcome.

Fully updated HAnim support is included in the forthcoming X3D4 specification. Consortium members have full access to all drafts during the development process.

Note: The latest release of the HAnim standard dropped the '-' in the name.
