Lauren,

you were clear enough - I was just reinterpreting a bit because I don't
think I have seen 
such a thing for x3d. But there are some potential candidates as a starting
point, such as vos, vrspace or deepmatrix, to 
perhaps link with an X3D browser. I just don't know enough about them
to comment on their specific strengths/weaknesses.

Granted. And Flux Player/Studio are probably as close to X3D
game engine's rendering and authoring tools as it gets right
now. Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly. What I am
looking for is an actual complete or partial open source 
client/server implementation that can work with X3D.

Cheers,
Lauren
