Re: [JAVA3D] New Computer

Win2K works fine with the OpenGl version of J3D. HOWEVER, YOU DID NOT MENTION THE VIDEO ACCELERATOR CARD in your machine and that will have a major impact on J3D performance. Assuming that you got the Diamond Fire GL2 that should work o.k. although I have no first hand experience with that particu

Re: [JAVA3D] New Computer

I may have been misled, but I was under the impression that win2k has as good OpenGL support as WinNT, which is better than that of Win98. In any case, even if that is not true, I have been using the OpenGL version of Java3D for quite some time now, with now problems. As far as speed is conserne

Re: [JAVA3D] Performance of rendering offscreen

Myles, Internally, Java3D used GLX pbuffers or DIB for offscreen rendering. Unfortunately, not that many existing graphics cards support this configuration, so offscreen rendering can be slow. Charmaine Lee Java3D Engineering Team > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 14:31:41 - >

Andrew, Does the texture problem only happen in offscreen rendering on Linux? Can you also try disabling the shared context explicitly to see if it makes any difference? To disable shared context, do java -Dj3d.sharedctx=false Regards, Charmaine Lee Java3D Engineering Team > MIME-Version:

I now have "in transit" one Dell computer. Having worked with Java3D on an R&D project for about 8 months and OpenGL since before it was Open, I decided to buy a really "hot" machine for use at home. I bought the 1.4GHz machine, added 128 MB of memory and upgraded to the 64MB graphics engine. G

Re: [JAVA3D] Using J3D with embedded systems

Hi Ma'n, Java3D only consumes CPU cycles when there is rendering to be done or if a behavior wants to run (either WakupOnElapsedFrames, Time etc). This satisfies requirements 3 & 4 in your list. The exact architecture of your system will depend on how the 3D system needs to process the stimulus

Make sure you have the latest drivers for the Voodoo under windows 98. The near and far clipping plane distances you are most likely not the cause of your crashes. At the most, you might see z-fighting between distant objects. Make sure your textures are powers of 2. Try running the program at 1
