Hi again all, As I have mentioned in the past, we have a rendering engine that supports skinned articulated rigid bodies. We have used indexed geometry for the inter-joint polygons and by-copy geometries everywhere else (with judicious use of our own data caching &c). Our current problem is due

Re: [JAVA3D] use of IndexTriangleArray class

Another note: In my opinion, the specification for indexed geometry is lacking in several respects. First an foremost, there is a tight but silly dependency between the reference data sets; see GeometryArray.set*Ref*() methods. You'll see that, for example, if your indexed geometry has 10,000 c

[JAVA3D] Using Linux Java3D and IBM JDK.

Has anyone had any success with using the Linux Java3D port and the IBM JDK 1.3? We're interested because this VM has the highest performance (for our benchmarks) of any VM available, thus we are very interested in seeing it work well (or at all) with Java3D. Currently we are having success with
