[JAVA3D] bounds on dynamic geometry

What is the best way for me to specifiy the bounds for an object that we are changing frequently? So for example if we turn bounds autocompute off, and override the getBounds() method to return a dynamic bounds, will this work? Will it be taken into account in that frame when doing the field of v

Hello, Thank you very very much Alan Hudson for your comments. It gave me an idea of how much of an undertaking releasing the code is. What scares me off is the MPEG4 IP issue that you mentioned. I'm an engineer and by default know absolutely nothing about legal issues. That's why I posted the id

Re: [JAVA3D] Plz Explain!

Hi What is happening is that you are trying to assign the faces of the box to two different parents- the Box and the BranchGroup (or TG) that you assign the Shape3Ds to. Your call to Box.getShape(i) returns a reference to the same face used in the Box, not a seperate object. When you try to assi

hello all!!!   I am trying to install J3D 1.2.1 (OpenGL) on Win2K, but the installer stops responding after displaying the splash screen. I tried that with DirectX version of J3D as well, but the problem persists.   Are there any issues I need to be aware of when installing Java 3D on Win2000

[JAVA3D] Speedy Interpolator! Was: [JAVA3D] Confused Rotations?

Hi all, After some digging and finding nothing on performance with Interpolators at the Sun site I did find a saving snippet from this lists archive! Maybe it should be added to one of the FAQs? As this seems to at least trouble more then just me! :) To sum up, as Interpolators are kicked into

Hi Thomas, I use two Canvases in one Applet by utilizing the JSplitPane. I do some canvas managing and put locks on the canvases for mouse drag events. But it works!! Cheers, Karsten Thomas Gilbert Giusepe wrote: > Hi folks, > > There is someway to show more than one view in a j3d applet ? >

[JAVA3D] material color additionaly to vertex colors for lines

Hi there, When I have a TriangleArray with vertex colors and I provide additionaly material settings in the appearance of an appropriate shape, i get a vertex colors / material color mix (which is great). But I can't achieve such a thing for lineArrays, since I can't evaluate the light model pro

Hi, I have a problem with picking lines. When picking a line I do not get a "real hit" (see code under). The only thing a manage to do is pick the surronding bound no matter how perfect my pick is. This is a problem when I am picking lines that is close to each other because I do not know wich lin

Hi Doug Thanks very much for your very informative comparison of the various ways of producing text labels in Java3D. Thanks also for your Label3D code. I had also adapted the Text2D code to create RasterText, specifically to determine the size of the BufferedImage. My implem

Re: [JAVA3D] Text3D vs. Texture

Hi, I think for labeling it's better to use the '2d-texture-text' version. But you don't have to generate the text-image by yourself, Java3D does this for you. Take a look at the text2D-class. The readability will be even better because you can use antialiasing on the Text2D. But take care about
