X3DV Module Suite v2.0

Hello,

I have updated my module suite for Netbeans. Here it is:

http://hiperia3d.blogspot.com/2008/04/x3dv-module-suite-v20-vrml-support.html

With the X3DV Module Suite, you can create virtual worlds in 3D, using the great edition features of Netbeans.

Three modules are available now:
-Language and files support for X3DV (x3d classic vrml encoding)
-A palette of code for x3dv
-And now, with this new version, it has also support for VRML.

The syntax coloring for X3DV and VRML is the same.

I'm very happy to announce this because Don Brutzman emailed me telling me that he had presented my software in a conference at Greece, and has linked my module suite from the X3D-Edit site (https://savage.nps.edu/X3D-Edit/#Plugins). cyclops

You can download and use it for free, as it's LGPL. Read the full article to see it all, install Netbeans, and then the modules.
You can also watch the video at YouTube.

Remember that you can post any comment in the article, all comments are welcomed!

Thank you,

Jordi.

You only need to download the Java SE version that is only 26 mb.

You need also Java JDK. (offline install 72 mb, or online istall is only 0,36 mb)

I use the Java SE version.

ok I succeded on my XP

( on my old millenium , I missed some dlls )

well ..it works ..

I must lookt at more closer now ..

by the way , jordi ..

what to do with x3d files ??

I never understood that ..

we have not many ways / viewers to look at them ..

( I just knew FluxPlayer , but it bores me )

am I false ?

.x3d files are x3d in xml format.
.x3dv are files of x3d in the same syntax as vrml.

.x3d files run well on xj3d, but they must be well constructed.

x3d-edit can edit x3d files in xml format.

Years ago, when x3d was being created, there was this question in a web3d faq:

"How can I understand XML? Answer: No one understands XML"

This is a bit radical. XML is easy to understand, but you have to read more and write much more than in classic vrml encoding.

I do prefer very much .x3dv for that.

hummm

I can build that with FluxStudio ...

ex

Code:: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE X3D PUBLIC "ISO//Web3D//DTD X3D 3.0//EN" "http://www.web3d.org/specifications/x3d-3.0.dtd">
<X3D profile='Immersive' >
<head>
<meta name='Vizthumbnail' content='Thumb_boxx3d__x3d548701208590622.jpg'/>
<meta name='ExportTime' content='9:37: 2'/>
<meta name='ExportDate' content='4/19/2008'/>
</head>
<Scene>
<WorldInfo
title='Untitled'
info='"This Web3D World was created with Flux Studio, a Web3D authoring tool"
"www.mediamachines.com"'/>
<Shape DEF='Box1'>
<Appearance
containerField='appearance'>
<Material DEF='Red'
containerField='material'
ambientIntensity='0.200'
shininess='0.200'
diffuseColor='1 0 0'/>
</Appearance>
<Box DEF='GeoBox1'
containerField='geometry'
size='1 1 1'/>
</Shape>
</Scene>
</X3D>

then use your suite ...

but my question is :

how to read that file ? how to see it in 3D ..?

( except the Fluxplayer I know , but it is less good than blaxxuncontatct
or BS )

My Module Suite is mainly for x3dv syntax, not for x3d. But anyway it may color keywords too. I did not test it.
Adapt a vrml file to x3dv is very easy. The code you are giving is x3d in xml format.

I have noticed that Flux works well but it uses to hang with big files or sometimes. I think they will improve it as time passes. I use Flux in Firefox usually, and it hangs less in the last version.

Xj3D (the Java x3d browser, not the library) is as good as Blaxxun in visual appearance, if not better. But it is standalone, not a plugin for the browser.

Also, if you install xj3d you'll notice that many of the x3d files that you produce with other programs or vrml files you have done contain many errors. Xj3d will detect them and refuse to run the file until you correct them. (I think I'll do a post on this.) So it might be a bit frustrating.

Alain, test my module with .x3dv file, not a .x3d

What you are seeing is the xml syntax coloring of Netbeans.

You should see things like this:
