try this in your polygonAttributes for your geometry call SetBackFaceNormalFlip.. i think that should solve it Ben Arbel Comsoft Technologies, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: "Yan Laporte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 12:37

Re: [JAVA3D] 2-dimensional matrix -> 3D-visualization, splines, coordinates, light-effects, interactive views,...

We've implemented such a surface plot in a general-utility library, except that the triangularization is slightly different, and the triangles are not smoothed into finer meshes to create an appearance of smoother surfaces. Includes axes (lines or boxes) with automatic tick marks and labels, light

[JAVA3D] flipping geometry

Hello everyone... I was wondering if anyone has found a way to flip an object using J3D... The geometry is just a triangle array that I create from a indexed trinagle set from a VRML file (home made loader), I read the normals from ths file as well... I would like to just flip that object over

Re: [JAVA3D] 3DS Loader

Dave (and everybody), If your model file has to include animations, I'm not sure that all the formats out there support it. 3DS does. Does .obj? Multigen has movement constraints I think. VRML I have no idea... It would be nice to see a table that addresses these items for each format: geome

Re: [JAVA3D] what to expect in the next versions of Java3D

Hi,    Thoughts on what may be in 1.3: - Constrain object to a specified view - Advanced texture mapping - Texture3D by reference - Add ogl-style color selector - Background changes - Serialized J3D scene graph - Ability to offset raster in screen coordinates to other point - Aud

Re: [JAVA3D] Robot Arm

I had already made the upper arm segment and lower arm segment as separate classes. However I derived them from BranchGroup. How do I implement Picking? Is there any example? - Original Message - From: "Yazel, David J." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 15

Re: [JAVA3D] 3DS Loader

Basically I am putting together the beginnings of a fairly large open source project which will require the efforts of contributing modelers. I think it is important to seperate the modeling work from the programming work. That being said, project specific conventions regarding HOW objects need

Re: [JAVA3D] 3DS Loader

Dave, John and I have talked about this a bit... the 3DS loader I have supports the basics (geometry, texturing, lights, object grouping, pivot points) and just recently animations (though the export of animations to 3DS format from MAX is a bit tricky to begin with). John's I believe handles mul

Re: [JAVA3D] 3DS Loader

Dave, What is your definition of "fully" functional. I believe Lee Dixon has written a fairly decent one (not released). And I've written one (also not released). I feel mine is superior to what is out there already but I don't consider it production ready yet either. Perhaps we should form a

Re: [JAVA3D] Robot Arm

You might want to make the arm as seperate transform groups. Under each transform group you would have one or more Shape3D's which define that arm segment. I would probably define a new set of classes to handle the special transforms needed by the arm segments, possibly derived from Tran
