Re: [JAVA3D] Box border

only guess is use getShape() methos of box .. to get a face of the box and puta rectangular image on it.. which will be transparent everywhere except at edges.. so as to give effect of border another best way is write your own BOX class.. where you acn define what you want.. Vijay Dharap, On Thu

Hi again, Sorry for shooting so many questions on the same day. Could anybody guide me how to draw an Outer Border with diffrent color. I searched the java docs but to no success. Thanks, Romil D. Shah __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mai

Re: [JAVA3D] AW: [JAVA3D] Gimbal lock

Florin is right. But if you are tied to Euler angles, specially at initial and final position, you can do something like: // euler2Quat is method to convert a Tuple3f to Quat4f Quat4f qInit = euler2Quat(initAngle); Quat4f qEnd = euler2Quat(endAngle); Quat4f qMid = new Quat4f(); // interm

Re: [JAVA3D] RemoveChild vs Detach

That is correct, only BranchGroups may be added or removed from a live scenegraph. Of course you can just have a BranchGroup that contains your TransformGroup. -mike -Original Message- From: Discussion list for Java 3D API [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Melina Alberio Sent: Thurs

Re: [JAVA3D] RemoveChild vs Detach

Well, my problem is : Although I had already set this capabilities(ALLOW_DETACH and ALLOW_CHILDREN_WRITE), I try to remove a TransformGroup but it doesn't work. I read in http://www.manning-sandbox.com/thread.jspa?threadID=6579&tstart=120 that only BranchGroups can be atached dinamically. Maybe, on

Re: [JAVA3D] VrmlLoader and Normal

Jeff, if - and only if, I guess - your model doesnot have normals, then VRML loader will create normals for you. Sometimes I delete the normal info in my VRML models to get smaller files ;) The ObjectLoader has a parameter for creasing Normals, but I am not sure if VRML97 loader has it too. About

Re: [JAVA3D] RemoveChild vs Detach

Hi Mike, Thanks for the help. But that didnt quite answer my question. I know that by setting the appropiate capability bits we can delete/add BranchGroups at runtime. I had problems with the memory deallocation. I read through the archives and the suggestion was to "getAllChildren" and assign the

Re: [JAVA3D] RemoveChild vs Detach

There is a known bug with removing sub-scenegraphs from a Group. For detailled information about a workaround please refer the J3D-mailinglist-archive but as far as I remember you have to add and remove a plain BranchGroup afterwards to let the memory be released.

Hello, It is possible to remove branch groups at runtime. The branch group being removed must have the ALLOW_DETACH capability set. Also, the parent group must have ALLOW_CHILDREN_WRITE capability set. As for removeChild vs detach, I have not looked at the code, but I believe removeChild will cal

Hi all,     I am using Java3d to display VRML models. I use com.sun.j3d.loaders.vrml97.VrmlLoader as the vrml loader. The VRML models I'm using contains no normal information. My quesition is: will VRML loader or Java3d creat nomal for the models? And if yes, how could I change the default s
