Re: [JAVA3D] Geometry Update

First, let me assume you are talking about Max's 'Multi/Sub Object' material. (If you are simply talking about a 'Composite' material type (a way to export multitexture data), then just multiple TextureUnitState's would do.) So, what we need in this case is what you're talking sort of talking abo

Yeah, animations are a problem. I'm still trying to decide how I want to handle Milkshape keyframes and present them in some sort of usable format for developers. I'm thinking of using a metadata file to go along with the model. Based on my limited experience with MD2 models, I'm guessing that

Re: [JAVA3D] Geometry Update

Ooh this is a good one!   Since it is considered illegal to update the vertices of by-ref geometry outside of a geometry updater it would be "bad" to do as you have suggested.  However, I am not sure if it would actually be a problem if you do this from a behavior since I would expect that both
