What means "fully supported" in the sentence: "Flux Studio (see also Flux (software)) Free authoring tool (modeling, animating, scripting) for creating X3D content - fully supported" ?

Flux Player 2.0 and Flux Studio 2.0 final released

Wikipedia article: Flux (software)

Look here: http://www.mediamachines.com/

Flux Player 2.0 and Flux Studio 2.0 are no longer beta and are now released in final version, that is freely downloadable for personal and academic use.

Tony Parisi is main developer of Labyrinth, WorldView and Flux. WorldView is by default available on Windows 2000 and Office 2000 CD's. That fact confirms Microsoft's promoting Tony Parisi's VRML/X3D line of software by default, making it factual standard for VRML/X3D, as Internet Explorer is factual standard for HTML. For reference look here: http://www.hoise.com/primeur/06/articles/monthly/AE-PR-10-06-9.html

Flux Studio imports and exports VRML and X3D successfully.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.19.52.107 (talk) 11:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Flux site is now here: http://mediamachines.wordpress.com/flux-player-and-flux-studio/ and provides Flux 2.1 final, including all earlier versions. 91.94.97.216 (talk) 15:47, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOT#DIR

Wikipedia is not a directory of everything that exists or has existed. Wikipedia articles are not:

Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics such as (but not limited to) quotations, aphorisms, or persons (real or fictional). If you want to enter lists of quotations, put them into our sister project Wikiquote. Of course, there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are famous because they are associated with or significantly contributed to the list topic, for example Nixon's Enemies List. Wikipedia also includes reference tables and tabular information for quick reference. Merged groups of small articles based on a core topic are certainly permitted.
Genealogical entries or phonebook entries. Biography articles should only be for people with some sort of fame, achievement, or perhaps notoriety. One measure of publicity is whether someone has been featured in several external sources (on or off-line). Less well-known people may be mentioned within other articles (e.g. Ronald Gay in Violence against gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgendered). See m:Wikipeople for a proposed genealogical/biographical dictionary project. Wikipedia is not the white pages.
Directories, directory entries, electronic program guide, or a resource for conducting business. For example, an article on a radio station generally should not list upcoming events, current promotions, phone numbers, current schedules, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant programme lists and schedules may be acceptable. Furthermore, the Talk pages associated with an article are for talking about the article, not for conducting the business of the topic of the article. Wikipedia is not the yellow pages.

So i will remove most of the many links here present. ALoopingIcon 08:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the article needs more content, yet all the links seem highly relevant and provide the missing information, and it is structured much like the VRML article. Until there is more actual content, I'd refrain from killing too many links.Nazlfrag 14:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After adding replacement link directory such as X3D I removed all these unneeded links from article, because they are accessible from this Open Directory Project replacement. Wikinger (talk) 16:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely done, it was a mess really. Nazlfrag (talk) 16:23, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Example code

Please add a sample example code kind of like "hello world". -- Frap (talk) 22:34, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I already added such code. 79.162.11.22 (talk) 18:58, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the HelloWorld.x3d example, hope that is OK. Don (talk) 21:53, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HelloWorld examples were replaced by external links because their example code is updated very often. 79.191.238.141 (talk) 09:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Open Directory Project Links

The DMOZ search template, and by implication all DMOZ search links, is being considered for deletion because it violates WP:ELNO #9. Anyone interested in discussing the fate of Open Directory Project (DMOZ) search links is invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion#Template:Dmoz2.

Alternatives

How is O3D an alternative to X3D, the former being an API and the latter and file format? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.8.82 (talk) 09:57, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

X3D examples

In the section about X3D example documents [[1]], four of the examples indicate "(Flux browser and several other browsers)".

Is this statement even necessary? If they all have the same statement, then why have it at all? There is nothing to differentiate them regarding which browser they work in. All of the examples work in any X3D browser, plugin or software. Why make specific mention of Flux and not other browsers?
