Just a quick comment: if you have few objects, the Vector stuff should be ok. However, if the number of objects increases and you need speed, you may consider using a HashMap or Hashtable for storing the name-shape pairs instead of a Vector.

An other way is to attach a UserData-Object to every shape3D which's holding these informations. i don't know which way is better, but i prefer the first, that's why i can create behaviors and so on in the class which holds the shape too. Here's a loaderclass for obj-files which is holding a vector of loaded shapes or loads the obj-file with the given name: To all other people out there: look at the code too please and tell me if this is a good way to handle objects in a scene. Regards Martin /*************************************************************************** ************ * Loader.java * * Created on 23. April 2003, 17:49 */ package MyProg.util; import javax.vecmath.*; import javax.media.j3d.*; import com.sun.j3d.loaders.objectfile.ObjectFile; import java.util.*; /** * * @author Administrator */ public class Loader { public Loader(){ shapes = new Vector(); } public Shape3D getShape(String name){ Enumeration e = shapes.elements(); while (e.hasMoreElements()){ Shape3D shape = (Shape3D) e.nextElement(); if (name.equals(shape.getUserData())){ return (Shape3D) shape.cloneTree(); } } loadShape(name); return getShape(name); } private void loadShape(String name){ ObjectFile file = new ObjectFile(ObjectFile.RESIZE); try{ com.sun.j3d.loaders.Scene s = file.load(getClass().getResource("/MyProg/resources/" + name + ".obj")); Shape3D shape = (Shape3D) s.getSceneGroup().getChild(0); shape.setCapability(Shape3D.ALLOW_APPEARANCE_READ); shape.setCapability(Shape3D.ALLOW_APPEARANCE_WRITE); shape.getAppearance().setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_MATERIAL_READ); shape.getAppearance().setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_MATERIAL_WRITE); shape.setUserData(name); shapes.add(shape); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); } } private Vector shapes; } **************************************************************************** *********/ All you have to do is create your class and pass the Loader to it to get the shapes. Here's my GameObject-Class: /*************************************************************************** ********* * GameObject.java * * Created on 21.
