[JAVA3D] Raster not affected by OrientedShape3D?

2002-05-10 Thread Paul Pantera
Today I'm trying to make a label that shows up in front of a sphere. When the view changes, the label stays on top of the sphere. Simple. What worked: Use Text2D (a texture mapped quad), read out the appearance and geometry and put them into an OrientedShape3D. Offset the geometry by the sphere

Hi! I wonder how I can add a TransformGroup to another compiled TransformGroup. Can I do that? I have tried to set: behaviorGroup.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_EXTEND); behaviorGroup.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_CHILDREN_WRITE); But it says: javax.media.j3d.Restrict

Hi Tobias   Supposing you have  TransformGroups called bottomViewTG, topViewTG, rightViewTG, leftViewTG and backViewTG, each containing a proper ViewPlatform (that attaches to a View, that renders to a Canvas3D), transformation setup is as follows:       Transform3D tempT3D = new Transf

[JAVA3D] Set Views Top Front & Left...

2002-05-10 Thread Tobias Bergman
I am new to Java3D and want to set three different Views so they show top, front & left like in 3dStudio. How should I do that? I read somewhere about matrix but I don’t know so much about those stuff. I asked earlier how I could rotate a View like in 3DS and that works now…   Regards T

Re: [JAVA3D] Texturing Problem

2002-05-10 Thread Daniel Selman
Brad, How are the geometry and texture coordinates for your sphere generated? It looks like you might be mapping the same pixel (s,t) coordinate to vertices that are actually some distance apart. This might explain the effect you are seeing. I'm assuming you've also played with the TextureAttribu

Title: RE: [JAVA3D] Geom ByRef and Geom Updater examples? Thanks,  taking a gander now. I'm really amazing at something though; I hadn't looked at the J3D's particle code before today (I like to see how much I can figure out on my own before looking elsewhere), and I'm happy about something.
