Hi I ran into this problem when I first tried texture mapping in Java3D. Due to the untrusted nature of applets, browsers will not allow them to read or write to or from the local file system, so the "file:./test.wrl" is the culprit Use Applet.getCodeBase() to get the base URL. For example s = f

How does Java3d implement color tables in OpenGL and DirectX... Is it implemented using GL_EXT_Paletted_texture or glColorTable? glColorTable is for ARB_Imaging and not as supported as the extension right?. Are there any "gotchyas" I should know about before I spend time trying to see if I can

Hey folks,   We are experiencing a problem installing Java 3D 1.2.1 (OpenGL) on a Windows ME machine with Java 1.3.1.  Whenever we run the installer, it completes without actually installing anything, so Java 3D doesn't work.  Specifically, the installer doesn't ask for a JRE to install to: it s

In my application I am simulating what can be seen from a real, calibrated camera. For this camera the center of projection (the eyepoint in Java3D terminology) does not necessarily lie at the center of the image. I can see how this can be modelled using compatibilty mode but 1) this complicates

Thanks for everyones comments on this issue. I've concluded that using the depth buffer to determine the distance to the scene from the camera for each pixel will result in poor portability. As an alternative, I've opted for an approach based on an old OpenGL picking idea. I simply render the sc
