Naming conventions

In this section you'll find information about how the exporter treats the naming of various node types. The VRML/X3D node naming of the exporter follows Blender's naming and is useful when creating clones and custom scripts in Blender's text editor.

• Object Transforms are prefixed with "OB_"
• Meshes (IndexedFaceSet or IndexedLineSet) are prefixed with "ME_"
• Coordinates are prefixed with "CRD_"
• Materials are prefixed with "MA_"
• Image textures are prefixed with "IM_"
• Movie textures are prefixed with "MOV_"
• Backgrounds are prefixed with "WO_"
• Inlines are prefixed with "SCE_"
• Viewpoint descriptions inherit the Bender Camera (CA) name
• Any object that has a particle effect gains the prefix "EFX_"
• The Shape of the particle effect child object gains the prefix "SHP_"

Any Blender object named the same as a VRML/X3D reserved word will gain an additional prefix of "_" in order to comply with the VRML/X3D specification.
