[JAVA3D] Tutorial question

2002-10-01 Thread Andy
Hi Java3D Dev Team: In Tutorial 2, it shows that TriangleFanArray is having a parameter of vertexCount which is TriangleFanArray(vertexCount). However, is this vertexCount or stripCount? Since I created a Fan with 10 points(vertices) only including the central point, I should have this "...

2002-10-01 Thread Andy
Hello all, I saw a 100% pure java applet today and it shows lathe objects. It is very impressive and I saw the source code that the writter wrote this applet by using his own methods, he is not using the TriangleStripArray or the built-in API. My question is that is it possible to use TriangleS

Hi, Justin Thanks for initial explanations, Step by step : 1) Does your application only need geometry ? For some simple 3D objects, yes. Hierarchical structure within a complex 3D object is desirable, but not mandatory. Material and Texture support is needed . 2) Does it need animations? No.

2002-10-01 Thread Doug Twilleager
This is correct. Without RenderedVolumeImage, you need to process the 3D image data as a set of 2D image planes. I don't know of any other way at this time. Doug. >Subject: Re: Re: [JAVA3D] RenderedVolumeImage >To: Doug Twilleager <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] >MIME-version: 1.0

Hey Everyone,   I’m starting my first Java 3D project which initially loads several OBJ models and then fades one of them out. Loading and displaying the OBJ models is working fine. Regarding the fade out, I’m starting to write a behavior based on TransparencyInterpolator. My problem is t

I have included the code that I tried to compile, but apparently you can't inherit from RotPosScalePathInterpolator, is that right? Anyway, I'm not sure the best way to do this, but I'm going to try to inherit from the Alpha class. I appreciate any suggestions. Jason class SequentialRPSI ex

Hi, Java3D has  some hi-quality Loaders avail : a Wavefront OBJ loader, a Lightwave LWS loader, a VRML loader, etc. But could you explain were one fits better than other ? At first glance, Wavefront OBJ  seens as good as VRML for simple 3D geometries. Are there  VRML features strong enoug
