Hi all, I've created a ruler in Java3D and at some moment during the execution of the application, the text on it seem to be extracted from it and floats here and there in the 3D universe, real-sized, at positions possibly random. The ruler is created only once, at the begining of the simulation,

Re: [JAVA3D] Text3D texturing and performance

It is not possible to assign texture coordinates to Text3D objects, but the TexCoordGeneration object, should apply to it. And yes, Text3D can gobble up triangle counts pretty quickly. Doug Twilleager Java 3D Team Sun Microsystems >Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] Text3D texturing and performance

Re: [JAVA3D] Text3D texturing and performance

Joachim, Justin, Last I looked, texture coordinates were not generated for Text3D geometry. Using Text3D is also a very easy way to generate thousands of vertices within your scene, particularly for serif fonts at large sizes. Justin, it sounds like you are going to need your own 2D font renderin

Hi, I think for labeling it's better to use the '2d-texture-text' version. But you don't have to generate the text-image by yourself, Java3D does this for you. Take a look at the text2D-class. The readability will be even better because you can use antialiasing on the Text2D. But take care about

Jay, I would recommend that you don't use Text3D. Text3D creates some pretty complex geometry itself, so you may end up with more vertices in your labels than in your scene itself! I would switch to Text2D (or render your text into a Raster itself). Sincerely, Daniel Selman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
