[JAVA3D] rotating objects in multiple directions

2000-01-06 Thread Eric Arnold
I have a (hopefully) simple question... how do you rotate an object in multiple directions? I tried just using the rotY() and rotX() methods separately, but then only one of them actually takes effect. Thanks for the help Eric ===

I have whipped up an STL File parser capable of handling valid ascii and binary STL files. As this was done on company time for a company project I can't just give it away but if there is someone out there who needs to get geometry out of STL files let me know and we'll work something out. John

Hi, Can you not just alter a transform group above the object. The following is a working fragment from one of my programs. Transform3D tt=new Transform3D(); tt.setScale(relScale); parent.relScaleGroup.setTransform(tt); I get relScale from a slider component. The model faithfully g

There is an OpenGL driver for the Voodoo2. It started as the QuakeGL mini driver (which I'm sure wouldn't work with Java 3D) and there is also a MESA (100% OpenGL compatible driver). Check the 3dfx site for details. However, the Voodoo2 will only accelerate graphics running in fullscreen mode, in

Janet, The key is to note that moving your scene or moving the viewer is visually equivalent. I.e. you can either attach your behavior to the VIEW side of the scenegraph (for example, one of the TranformGroups in the SimpleUniverse's MultiTransformGroup) or you can put a TransformGroup as the ro

Hi, I'm not an expert and may be I could be wrong, but 3dfx boards support directx and not opengl. So there is no way to accelerate opengl with your board. You should use the implementation of java3D with directX available at: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/java3D/1.1.3/ Ho
