In the interest of software preservation, I have decided to build a standalone player application that plays .p3d files created with the old Panda3D deployment system. If you haven’t tried, while runtime.panda3d.org is still up on the web, trying to use the panda3d runtime now gives many SSL errors due to expired certs. Because of this, I figured it would be a neat project to build a “player” that is standalone that works with .p3d files. You can download my application here: https://github.com/christislord12/Panda3D-P3D-Player. I highly recommend downloading one of the binaries from my releases page as building this application was quite difficult due to the SSL errors.
