X3D extension supports multi stage and multi texture render, it also supports shader with lightmap and normalmap. In 2010 X3D supports deferred rendering architecture. Now X3D can import SSAO, CSM and Realtime Environment Reflection Lighting, but doesn t need care much about polygon counts. The user can also use optimizations like BSP QuadTree OctTree or culling in the X3D scene. X3D also benefits from other open source standards like XML, DOM and XPath. The user can easily develop content tools like an exporter and editor which make content creation and optimization tasks eas ... more details
A scene graph is a general data structure commonly used by vector graphics vector based graphics editing applications and modern computer games. Examples of such programs include Acrobat 3D , Adobe Illustrator , AutoCAD , CorelDRAW , OpenSceneGraph , OpenSG , VRML97 , and X3D . The scene graph is a structure that arranges the logical and often but not necessarily spatial representation of a graphical scene. The definition of a scene graph is fuzzy because programmers who implement scene graphs in applications and, in particular, the games industry take the basic principles and adapt these to suit particular applications. This means there is no consensus as to what a scene graph should be. A scene graph is a collection of nodes in a Graph data structure graph or Tree data structure tree structure. A node may have many children but often only a single parent, with the effect of a parent applied to all its child nodes an operation performed on a group automatically propagates its effect to all of its members. In many programs, associating a geometrical transformation matrix see also Transformation mathematics transformation and matrix math matrix at each group level and concatenating such matrices together is an efficient and natural way to process such operations. A common feature, for instance, is the ability to group related shapes objects into a compound object that can then be moved, transformed, selected, etc. as easily as a single object. It also happens that in some scene graphs, a node can have a relation to any node including itself, or at least an extension that refers to another node for instance Pixar s PhotoRealistic RenderMan because of its usage of Reyes rendering algorithm, or Adobe Systems s Acrobat 3D for advanced interactive manipulation . Scene graphs in graphics editing tools In vector based graphics editing, each leaf node in a scene graph represents some atomic unit of the document, usually a shape such as an ellipse or Bezier curve Bezier path ... more details
