Human Animation of 3d VRML models is best done with the
H-Anim Standard, they are compatible with :
- Java3D
- Java 1.1 ( and run on the web without Java 2 & OpenGL )
- 'old style' plug-in viewers ( Cosmo, Contact, Cortona )
A demo, sample Avatar, & more are resources below.

-- interactive, multiple models, animations, & resources.

viewer )

The same H-Anim files work for both Java 1 and Java3d, with a
custom blend of the Sun / Web3d VRML Loaders ( 0.90.2 & current ).
Netscape 6 / Mozilla will support VRML and Java3d ( where possible )
through the efforts of Sun, AOL, Web3d, and others ...

| Does anyone implement human animation in Java3D
| using animation data exported from 3DS MAX and
| Character Studio ?
|
| What format do you use to export the animation data
| from 3DS MAX?

I do human animation with Java3d, not the exporting
part ... but if you can export H-Anim, Java does the rest.
