Re: [JAVA3D] Position in the world

Geal, Your view platform will be located at (x, y, z) = (0, 0, 0) unless you have one or more TransformGroup(s) connecting the view platform to the "locale" defining your origin in the "universe." This TransformGroup will have a Transform3D object that can be accessed via TransformGroup.getTran

We don't actually do any synchronization as it is traditionally defined. We do some updates when the Renderer is not running, but we don't acquire a lock to do the updates. It happens in other ways to allow for more parallel processing. We do use messages, and it is true that setting many small

[JAVA3D] Performance of Appearance Changes

Hey folks,   We have observed some interesting behavior when setting Appearance attributes on large scene graphs, and I was wondering if anyone could comment on this.   We have found that building and setting the Appearance object (from scratch) on a Shape3D node is actually faster than setting

Hi:   The documentation for ColoringAttributes states:   "When vertex colors are present in unlit geometry, those vertex colors are used in place of this ColoringAttributes color, unless the vertex colors are ignored."   OK, so how do I "ignore" vertex colors ??? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Well I think you may have been misinformed regarding texture mapping, unless you are referring to some OpenGL extensions. Java3d certainly handles texture mapping. It is true, you cannot access openGL directly from Java3d because Java3d is platform independent and works with DirectX as well as O
