Re: [JAVA3D] How to create models for loaders with alpha transparency??

The starfire loader already supports material-level transparency (from its docs). So try that if it is enough control for your specifications. But you mentioned opacity, so if you're talking about transparency from texture alpha - You need to: (a) Load a texture with transparency information (tga

If I understand what you're after, Milkshape3D will do that for you. You can define both a texture and an alpha texture. Then there's a couple of loaders you could use (one of which is mine). Milkshape can also import your 3DS models. >From: Scott Mobile <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Discuss

[JAVA3D] How to create models for loaders with alpha transparency??

There is nothing currently that will allow you to do this, besides manually copy and pasting the animation data from max into your java3d application. Stay tuned for the next week or so because I'll be posting links to my 3dsmax exporter/java3d loader. It will include the keyframe functionality yo

Andrea, I think your last sentence is the cause of your problems. It sounds like the Interpolators are fighting with one another to set the Transform3D into the TransformGroup they are modifying. You should create two TGs and attach a separate Interpolator to each. The system timer is probably j
