Hi Daniel,
I saw the Graphics Gems online sample
code. But unfortunately its too trivial to be used in a product that we are
developing and moreover I need TRIMMED NURBS surfaces, and that makes things
more complicated. I may try to find out a readymade NURBS facetter instead.
Anyways, thanks a lot for the
suggestion.
with regards,
Anirban

Anirban,
I would write my own Java classes to decompose a NURB
into a triangle strip which could then be part of a scenegraph. There is
some sample code to do this in one of the Graphics Gems books that you could
covert to Java.
Could be a fun project...

Subject: NURBS rendering in
Java3D
Hi All,
Presently Java3D does not support
NURBS surfaces as geometry. I want to handle NURBS surfaces in a Java3D
Viewer, how do I handle picking and other stuff ( which are supported by
Java3D on facets )?
What I tried was writing a class
of my own extended from javax.media.j3d.Canvas3D and overloaded the
postRender() where I call my JNI which in turn makes call to OpenGL Platform
Libs. And I am able to render the NURBS surfaces separately by my own
JNI and the surfaces are properly rendered to the Java3D Canvas. But
These NURBS surfaces ARE NOT part of the Java3D Scene Graph. And that's why
normal Java3D features are not supported on these surfaces. It seems
difficult( if not impossible) to add them to the Java3D Scene Graph.
Does anybody have any experience
in this? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
with thanks,
Anirban
