7: Introducing X3D
Sunday, Full Day
8:30 am – 5:15 pm
Room 205
CAL/Room 214CD
X3D (eXtensible 3D graphics) is the open standard for
interactive 3D graphics on the World Wide Web. X3D uses
current web standards and technologies to describe 3D
shapes, textures, animation, and interactivity viewable
in a browser. Participants build their own world using
X3D-Edit and leave this course with the basic knowledge
to begin using the tools and libraries to build their
own 3D worlds.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of 3D computer graphics such as that
provided by SIGGRAPH's introductory course. Basic understanding
of the World Wide Web. Beginners knowledge of XML and
VRML is helpful, but not required.
Topics
Basics of Web-based 3D graphics with a focus on X3D.
Fundamentals of X3D specification, profiles, animation,
tools and authoring. X3D Software Development Kit (SDK)
is used to demonstrate X3D authoring.
