Re: [JAVA3D] Developing the Imposter

Hi Alex, sorry I did not see your original post. As Justin says I make available an open source terrain translator/generator in java. I am still at the stage of developing it into a general framework - getting the interfaces and design patterns sorted out - there will be an update this weekend (

Re: [JAVA3D] Is it possible to show only outlines in wireframe mode?

Richard, I think the general answer for Java 3D is no. I believe there are hacks using Polygon offsets and duplicating your geometry (one wireframe, one solid rendered) and rendering both (you move the wireframe version a little closer to the viewer), but this is unlikely to be suitable for all c

Does anyone know how I could get just the lines along the outermost outline of the entire polyhedron? For instance, consider a vertical cylinder. The approach described below would show the outline of the two circular faces, but there would be no vertical edges representing the body of the cy

Folks, Just added Daniel's particle system code to the repository. Should mainly work, but a few minor things need cleaning up first (the basic geometry stuff uses explicit file name textures is the main one ATM). I'm working on getting examples and documentation up onto the site now. Javadoc sh

Re: [JAVA3D] Java 3D and Augmented Reality

Augemented reality is a way of adding computer generated elements over reality. Many people think of this in terms of vision but others do research in olfactory, sound, etc. For the visual domain, one can use see through glasses that have a layer of graphics over it. Boeing did an early demonst

Alex, I would take a look at something like the ROAM algorithm to dynamically tessellate the landscape based on viewer position and performance. I don't know of anyone who has done this within Java 3D yet, so a good deal of prototyping may be in order. A friend of mine did use it using GL4Java ho

The more I think about it, the more it seems that the Java 3D view model could be very nice in augmented reality. Still I haven't seen more than a few references to AR with Java 3D. Is anyone doing anything in this area? Let me know who's doing what in this area. Thanks-- Alex ==
