Java does not directly load them in, but various loaders have been written
to read them and create Java scenes from them. One of the Java3D demos
contains an Object Loader called objLoad. With this you can load most .obj
files.
I use a freeware program called Breeze Designer found at
http://www.imagos.fl.net.au. However, it does not output in .obj files.
So, you need a converter to go along with it. There is one of those called
Crossroads. I believe you can find a link to it somewhere on the Breeze
Designer page.
Right now, to learn Java 3D, I'm making a 3D drawing program that generates
java code so that one can them tweak the code to their liking. However, its
specific to the drawing of a Industrial Plant (pipes and stuff).
Good luck,
Sean
