Hope you're right, but what can Sun do if Microsoft decides to just stop supporting Java plugins? They might withdraw the API (and the EMBED tag) or modify the browser so that it breaks the plugin. I know that I'm already encountering problems with Javascript (as in IE6 crashes as soon as it loo

Using the latest OGL version of J3D, when I render an object that has it's depth buffering disabled, instead of displaying it in front of everything else, it only displays it _behind_ everything else. Like instead of disabling the depth test, it's inverting it. I read on the list that this was a

The triangulator is designed to work on planar polygons. If your polygon isn't planar, it's projected onto a plane. It's not designed to work on a half cylindrical surface made up of a single curved polygon. It simply turns polygons into triangles. -Paul > Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > M

My experience with Triangulator has been disappointing particularly for the curved surfaces. For example, I have a half cylindrical surface with a hole in it. Since there is no way to control the triangle density, I see a triangle fan. Also many triangles are not exactly on the cylindrical surface

Can you please provide more detail? This can't be right. The triangulator simply divides polygons into individual triangles. The stripifier will make strips, but the only way to get a fan out of the geometry utilities is to send in a fan (and not call the triangulator or stripifier). Quads sen
