[JAVA3D] proposal for new behavior

1999-10-13 Thread Veith, Gernot
hi all, i would like to make a proposal for a new behavior class or wakeup conditions. Actually behaviors only listen to AWTEvents. It would be usefull to have conditions handling user defined events. If you try to handle input data from a port, the only way is polling data from a sensor. A behav

Kurien, that's the very point of Java3D (and possibly of any other true 3D application)! The performance highly (if not thouroughly) depends on the complicity of the scene. Moreover, performance would be different on different video cards with different amount of onboard RAM. For instance, helloun

The easiest way to load an image from file or URL is to use a TextureLoader object. The TextureLoader class is intended to make it easy to load images for use as textures, but the images loaded by a TextureLoader object could be used for other purposes. Joerg 'Herkules' Plewe wrote: > > Hi all!
