Player support for X3D components

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.

TODO list:

• Player companies need to report their software support levels
• Once this page is well designed, create the following tables and cross-link each when available
• Create table for X3D authoring tools: SwirlX3D Editor, Vivaty Studio, X3D-Edit,
• Create table for X3D conversion tools: Okino Polytrans, SwirlX3D Translator

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
•    no       no support provided
•     ?        unknown, need status report
