[JAVA3D] Building CAVEs

Someone asked about tutorials on building CAVEs in Java 3D. The only stuff I've seen is in the book: Java Media APIs: Cross-Platform Imaging, Media, and Visualization Terrazas, Ostuni, and Barlow, SAMS 2002. Terrazas is involved in VR research and business, so there's a heavy slant in his part o

[JAVA3D] only blank black screens appear on running demos( with no other error )

i have recently installed java3D 1.3.1 but the demos are not working properly on my win 2000 PC showing only blank screens/black screens. same thing occurs using the java utility or appletviewer. i have j2sdk 1.4.1 installed on my computer. _

Re: [JAVA3D] Java3D capabilities, its future and what OpenGL bindings can do

Well, let me see what you want to do with your 1000 spheres problem. Every frame you want to draw a certain number of spheres, max. no. = 1000. Your Java 3D approach, which you don't seem to favor, is to pre-allocate and make live all the 1000 spheres and at every frame determine which of these you

Re: [JAVA3D] Java3D capabilities, its future and what OpenGL bindings can do

Hi Kevin, All I can say, is that you appear to be one of a very few (or a one project) that has noted all these problems. Maybe the project you're working on isn't suited to Java3D, maybe the way you're thinking about it isn't suited to Java3D. Either way, you're not talking about a general case h

Re: [JAVA3D] Java3d /JOGL /ETC

Here here! It's always nice to see a post from David. I usually find he's excellent at putting things into perspective. When developing a game, the rendering engine is only a small part of the process. It should not be the central focus. Gameplay is often sacrificed in favor of eye candy. Som

Re: [JAVA3D] Java3D capabilities, its future and what OpenGL bindings can do

Hi Mark, many thanks for your detailed suggestions! We use a stereo projector for our application but I was not able to produce that format with Java3D (it needs field sequential stereo view or column interleaved) thus it's kind of worthless :( The default monoscopic policy of CYCLOPEAN_EYE_VIEW w

Re: [JAVA3D] Java3D capabilities, its future and what OpenGL bindings can do

Hi Justin, huge overhead, since I have to manage "visible"-state for each sphere primitive and management of the states is a real pain! And building a complete scene tree for each frame is impossible! In OpenGL I can do per frame (immediate mode) what I want to draw! Any ideas how I could do that

I posted this to the Javagaming site, but thought I should post this here also. I am not having a heart attack over the rumors surrounding Java3D. Hopefully everyon architects their gaming projects which some abstraction over the rendering technology to protect them from these types of hiccups. Wr

[JAVA3D] Java3D is NOT dead!

I thought I would finally chime in and and remind people that Java3D is excellent and stands in a class of its own. It is a great technical achievement. I am sure in time Java3D for the Mac will come. And I am sure Sun will continue development on Java3D. Simply because these things will take s

Not to mention: 1) support for stereoscopic rendering 2) a realistic view model that takes the viewers realf life phyical position into account 3) ALL the other benefits of Java (threading, utilities, etc) 4) a full vector math library Arguments about Java3D not adding anything to OpenGL are the s

Re: [JAVA3D] Is Java3D dead?

I think the thing most likely to kill Java3D deadest quickest is the continued lack of any official position on it from Sun while we discuss this question on every Java3D related forum. It would be good to hear an official statement of some sort, even if it is just to back up the rumours.
