[JAVA3D] Transparency -- could someone confirm?

I updated our application to Java3D 1.2, and the beautiful transparency (illustrating intersecting objects) that worked great in Java3D 1.1.3 went -- pardon the technical jargon -- all higgledy-piggledy. Some shapes were rendered in solid colors, and some in non-expected orders. I'm using lightin

[JAVA3D] Loaded Objects

Hi everyone, Does anyone know how (or if it's possible) to access or change the properties of an object loaded from a vrml or flight loader? I want to be able to enable back culling as well as change some colors and I wonder if it can be done after the object has been loaded onto the

Re: [JAVA3D] Loaded Objects

The scene is not loaded live. Before you attach it to the live scene make your adjustments. If you will want to be modifying attributes after the scene is live make sure you set the capability bits. I routinely change materials and so forth to objects loaded in OBJ files. Dave > -- >

Re: [JAVA3D] Semitransparency

Yes, I use PNG format for alpha channel blending on that platform. Just make the polygon 100 percent transparent, BLENDED, load the PNG file in RGBA mode and set texture attributes to replace. I don't have my code here or I would post it. Dave Yazel > -- > From: Mark Ferneau[SM

Re: [JAVA3D] Views

Mark, I think I see what you are saying. Don't use the lookAt on the geometries, instead use it on the camera. I've included a snippet of some of my code to let you see. My code places the camera a position in the world and has it look at a point. I then uses the KeyboardNavigator to allow

Re: [JAVA3D] Views

Mark, Get the view platform TransformGroup with a line like: TransformGroup vpTrans = simpleU.getViewingPlatform().getViewPlatformTransform(); Then translate it to move it, and use rotate to turn your view with code like this: T3Dtemp.rotY(angle); T3Dtemp2.rotX(pitch); T3D.mul(T3Dtemp,T3

Re: [JAVA3D] Semitransparency

Sure, I do this in my application. Ideally you should be able to use the alpha channel of a texture to let you do this, though I was not successful using an SGI RGBA image file on the Win32 platform with JDK 1.3 and J3D 1.2.1 (D3D) or J3D 1.2 (OGL). Therefore I assign the texture to a polygon

Re: [JAVA3D] Views

Shaun, thanks for the response My idea here is to let the geometry sit still while I move my view point (all ways looking at 0,0,0) around the object. I want to start by moving my 'point of view' to each of the axis. Given your advice, which Transform3D object would I use to call the method (

Re: [JAVA3D] Views

Mark, I've been working with the same kind of scenario over the past few days. To look in different directions use the lookAt method that is part of the Transform3D class. It allows you look at a point from a certain location and specify the up vector. Controlling this from a GUI should

Hi folks... I have a simple issue (I think it's simple) that I just can't figure out. I currently have some geometry sitting at (0,0,0). I am using the SimpleUniverse (with NominalViewingTransform set) to create my View branch. From what I can gather, the default view has the viewer's head pos

I think this is just like an error I was having while trying to use picking with indexed geometry a while back. Kelvin Chung from Sun said they found a bug in the 3-D core, and would be fixed with the next release. Search the archives. Couldn't have been more than a few months back. Daniel --

You could just do a p1.distance(p2) where p1 is your location and p2 is the location of the tree. But have you tried to use ordered groups for this yet? To my knowledge you cannot swap the children of an ordered group around, you have to detach them and rebuild the array. I have been building

Hi!   I am creating a terrain with many billboard trees on it. Due to the problems of 'Multiple Transparent Objs', I decide to use OrderedGroup, and sort the trees according to their 'Z' coordinate at run time.   So my question is: Is there an easy and universal way to quickly get objects 'Z
