Re: [JAVA3D] FW: [JAVA3D] Porting Java3D

But I don't understand this: why is Java3D any different from the JDK? I mean, if they were willing to release the sources for the JDK and retain copyrights why not do the same for Java3D? I mean, don't they want license fees when people port it to different platforms? Can someone

Re: [JAVA3D] shape locations

I think you can do something like: Point3f center = new Point3f(); sphere.getShape().getGeometry().getCoordinate(0, center); That's what it looks like from looking at the class docs, but I haven't tried it. I'm assuming that getGeometry() returns a GeometryArray in the case of spheres. Lars

They belong to sun and so I'm afraid they're not big on handing them out, as far as I know. There is progress towards a Java3D-like renderer compatible with the new OpenGL apis ( see David Yazel's posts previously) and you may have more sucess using this over a port of jogl or lwjgl, both of w

[JAVA3D] Performance & culling faces

Hello all, I was wondering if someone might know the performance impact of culling back facing faces BEFORE they are sent to the graphics card... Normally, people just send their geometry to the graphics card, and the graphics card can cull back facing faces... to improve performance for the rest

Re: [JAVA3D] shape locations

Thanks. You are, of course, correct. I guess what I'm asking is how much "housekeeping" I have to do myself. If I translate the spheres in the space, is there some method I can use to get the new center point of the sphere (e.g. sphere.getCenter()) or do I have to translate the sphere and also tran
