Hello everyone,As a first task, I had to familiarize myself with X3DOM. And I always like learning by example, so I spent almost a week making a complete Solar System demo, including star field background (as skybox of course), with a button to show and hid the orbits.This is a simplist example possible, but it hits on several points which were useful for the upcoming tasks that I worked on:
- Lighting.
- Texturing
- Animation.
- Transformation manipulation (parenting objects to objects for Earth and moon rotations, etc...).
- Inlining X3DOM scenes from external files.
- Using Javascript to control behaviours in X3DOM scenes
After I finished the solar system project, I've recieved a new task, which I'm gonna talk about in the next blog post.
