FWIW, I have the DirectX version of 1.3 working at home with XP using an NVidia based card.
It works very well. There were some reports of 1.3 not working well with XP, but I think that MAY be the OpenGL version as the DirextX one seems fine fro what I have done so far. Darrin BTW, I'm glad Selman's book is almost ready. I've had it ordered now for months. >From: Kelvin Chung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Kelvin Chung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] >Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 10:59:02 -0800 > >Hi Huang, > > The latest v1.3 beta1 of Java3D using DirectX 8.0 API but >the previous version v1.2.1 using DirectX 7.0 API instead. >We also found that under some graphics card (in particular >neomagic card for laptop) the display mode that use to >work for 3D is no longer working under DirectX 8.0. > >You should get the same result by running some samples 3D >program after installing DirectX 8.0 SDK (without using >Java3D).
