Moin > Iīve just installed Java3D 1.3-1 with J2SE1.4.
Have you installed them into the same folder ? Have you other versions of java (the JVM) installed ? > When I run the demo applets > I just see a black screen. However, the FourByFour applet displays the > buttons and the Face1..Face18 panel. The 3D graphics are not being > displayed. > I have the DirectX version of Java3D. Do you have installed DirectX in a recent version (>7) ? If you don't know: click start => execution, enter: "dxdiag", click OK. Tell us what you see. Or simply download the lastest version from MS http://www.microsoft.com and install it. Another test: Deinstall the directX-version, install the OpenGL-Version. The OpenGL-version works even if directX is not installed and you don't have to install anything for openGL to work (from win98 on ?) Which games/3D-Application do work on your PC ? > I donīt have a graphics card so if thatīs the problem you may > laugh, if thatīs not the problem please help. You do have a graphic card, just believe me, you _have_ a graphic card. Maybe it's integrated into the motherboard but it is somewhere inside your PC. If you don't have one you dont see anything (not even buttons or windows) on the screen. So let's just figure out what it is. > If I need a graphics card could someone suggest the best, most economical > one to get? .... a ATI-Rage-128 would be cheap and works fine with java3d. It's sold for around 20 Euro (+-25 US-Dollar). But it's NOT fast at all, and that's NOT your problem. Your problem is somewhere in the configuration of windows, java3d or DirectX. cu =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
