X3D loader problem / possible other formats to try

I used to use X3dModelLoader but it no longer works citing missing types from com.sun.j3d.loaders such as IncorrectFormatException. I seem to remember going down a rabbit hole and trying to fix it all a few years ago to no avail. Does anyone having a working copy I can use?

Failing that what are folk using to load nice 3D models these days? In the old Java3D OBJ files never seemed to work well if they had textures.

I used to be able to stick Big Ben next to structures to give a feeling of scale :-)

I contacted the author August Lammersdorf and he kindly made a new version of this. I anyone needs a copy please PM me.
