[JAVA3D] how to step back?

Hi, everyone, This is grace. I use simple universe, I put a few boxes vertically lining up, however some boxes are missing. When I resize the frame, more boxes are missing. I was told that we can more the viewer back or look down, I don't know how to do it except simpleUniverse. Could you show me

[JAVA3D] Problem with Lights and animation

Hello again, With the help of the List (thanks!) I've verified that I have the latest, greatest Java3D. This rules out the most obvious reason for the problems I'm having, so now I would like to hear if these problems are known to other users and perhaps also Sun: Attenuation doesn't work for me

I am using TextureLoader to put .jpg's on a shape 3d. The .jpg's I have a smaller than the shape that I map them to so java automatically stretches them to be the right size, which is fine. However it looks like java is carrying out some sort of blending algorithm to compensate for the informatio

Re: [JAVA3D] detach() suggestion

I've frequently wanted Group.removeChild(Node). But every time I've wanted this, instead of O(n) searching on index so I could then call Group.removeChild(int) -- and in the process expose myself to thread conflicts -- I've added a BranchGroup above the node I might want to delete in this manner,

Re: [JAVA3D] detach() suggestion

Lee, I think it's an excellent suggestion (and I'm hoping Sun reads your idea). We intend to be creating scenes that will consist of many parts that will be attached and detached as the user moves around. For our purposes using lots of Branchgroups will probably work fine but I can see where it

[JAVA3D] Incomplete RotPosScaleTCBSplinePathInterpolator

Re: [JAVA3D] detach() suggestion

Chris, Yes. That should work in a live sceen. I plan to use changes to a JTree to trigger changes in the sceen. Boxes may only be added or removed from the top of the stack. I will set the capabilities and add a BranchGroup as well as a TransformGroup. Thanks for the idea. Pierre > ---

Re: [JAVA3D] detach() suggestion

Well, as for keeping only BranchGroup.detach()... that is not the only place you can detach. As I mentioned, you can detach a child from its parent using Group.removeChild(index). As for optimization, you can only do this if the capability bit is set. (Personally, I'm doing my detach before the

Re: [JAVA3D] detach() suggestion

Hi Pierre, This is simplistic, but couldn't you have each individual box under it's own BranchGroup, and oriented with it's own TransformGroup? In this way, each box would be independently detachable. Just use picking to find the BranchGroup of the picked box, then detach it. Since the orienta

I would like to give my users the capability to remove objects from a stack. Let say I have 4 boxes sitting on top of each other. The boxes are oriented relative to the one below it. Let me ask this question. In order to let the user to remove the top box, would I have to detach the entire gro

Re: [JAVA3D] detach() suggestion

Chris and the list, Probably by keeping detach() in only BranchGroup it is easier to do the optimizations when a scenegraph is compiled. That would be my guess. -Original Message- From: Christopher Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2000 9:16 AM To: [EMA

Re: [JAVA3D] detach() suggestion

Christopher, I can only guess, since it's down to the Sun folks for a good explanation, but it seems to me that the BranchGroup class is fundamental in this respect. E.G. it is the unit that can be compiled via compile(). I can't begin to imagine what would happen if you could detach a Node from

Re: [JAVA3D] detach() suggestion

Rob and everyone else, On a related note then... why is there only BranchGroup.detach() and not a general Node.detach()? It makes scenes much larger when you have many shapes, each with it's own BranchGroup to allow the shapes to be detachable! It would be more convenient to be able to have Tran

Why is there not a Node.detach() function? In order to detach a Node child from its parent, currently you have to go to the parent, then search the list of its children to find the index of the one you want to detach, then call Group.removeChild(index). (Am I missing some better way of doing thi
