Dave, The goal is to fix the bugs at the bottom of the README prior to the FCS release of Java 3D 1.2.1. We will also be putting out a Beta 2 for 1.2.1 once we have fixed a critical mass of bugs reported in 1.2.1. Rob Posadas Manager, 3d Graphics Software Sun Microsystems [EMAIL PROTECTED] (

Word from the JPI team is that the default max memory pool is now 64M (used to be 16M). In Java 1.3.1 (future release) on Windows, the pool will will be set automatically according to the available virtual memory on the system, so the problem should go away then. -Paul > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Con

Thanks Rob! It is great to see a new release coming out. It is also disconcerting to read the list of known problems at the bottom. Any idea on a release schedule for 1.2.2? Before year's end perhaps? If this is 1.2.1 beta, does that mean the known list of issues will be fixed before 1.2.1 pr

Rob (and everybody), The README's specifically spell out that we may need to set the maximum memory pool to 64 meg. As someone who is trying to automate the installation and execution for an end-user, how do I do this? I'm not going to tell an end user to go open the Java Control Panel and set s

We are about to begin the release process for Java 3D 1.2.1, and that has been taking about two weeks. So the Beta version of 1.2.1 should be out by mid October. As far as changes, mainly bug fixes and performance enhancements. Attached are the README's for 1.2.1. Rob Posadas Manager, 3d Gr

Hi, I'll throw my 2c worth in. Having been involved with a failed attempt to use J3D with the VRML Loader to build an end user product. The technical decision to use J3D was out of our hands and after some initial euphoria it rapidly became a drag. 1.) Stability across platforms/cards was very w

Well they say they have fixed the mixed-immediate mode bug which messed up the textures. If so then a particle system could be built to stream the (basically raw opengl) commands in the post render of canvas3d. Given the fast changing nature of particles, thats not a horrid way to do them anyway.

Last thing first. Feel free to use and/or modify to your hearts content. I don't think it is a bug in that they didn't provide a method to orbit. They may have left it to the programmer to do. I do think that ALL of the Mouse Behavior classes are in error in that they don't take the viewplatfor
