Java3d & OpenGL

2001-05-26 Thread Antonio Bleile

Hello List,

i am writing a rendering software based on
OpenGL and now i'm trying to do the GUI
components with Java. The rendering software
is written in C. 

I started to create just a simple Canvas3D,
then i do some native C calls which render
into the current OpenGL context created 
by Java). So far it works quite good.

Obviousely this solution has some problems:

1. Not all Java3d implementations are based on
OpenGL. 

2. Some Java repaint or whatever events destroy the 
frame i rendered with my C-lib.
(How can i make sure that Java doesn't handle
ANY events concerning the Canvas3D) ?

3. Interaction with my scene: I want to implement
a trackball for my OpenGL scnene. I get the mouse
event trough mouseMoved(MouseEvent e), from there
i do native calls for rendering. How can i make sure 
that only ONE event is handled at any time? You know that 
it's a bad idea having two different threads drawing
into the same context in parallel.

What are your experiences? Any comments appreciated...

Best regards,

Toni

[ANNOUNCE] Java3D 1.2.1_01 for Linux

2001-05-26 Thread Juergen Kreileder


The Blackdown Java-Linux Team is proud to announce the availability of
the final release of Java3D 1.2.1_01 for Linux:


The Java 3D API enables the creation of three-dimensional graphics
applications and Internet-based 3D applets. It provides high-level
constructs for creating and manipulation of 3D geometry and building
the structures used in rendering that geometry. With this software,
you can efficiently define and render very large virtual worlds.

Requirements and installation instructions can be found at
http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/java2-status/README-3D121_01
Please choose one of our FTP mirrors
(http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/mirrors.html) for downloading.


Documentation for the Java3D 1.2.1 API can be downloaded from
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/download.html

General information about Java3D and demos are available from
