[JAVA3D] View point

Hello, I'm working on a 3D visualization of dynamics data and I'm fighting against a viewing problem: To each visual component corresponds a view point (which moves with it)... and I'm not able to catch the structure of the view part of J3D! Does anybody have some tip?

[JAVA3D] Need an approach to writing an overlay to the Canvas3D

I am trying to draw some text as an overlay on the Canvas3D. I have the Canvas3D in a JFrame and was hoping to use the glass pane. But I wasn't able to get that to work and I think it has to deal with the heavyweight/lightweight problem. I added a drawString call to the postSwap but this caused

Re: [JAVA3D] Clipping Plane problem?

I'm working on exactly the same. And had the same problem. The problem is the z-buffer, it uses a floating-point format. The physical distance between succeeding z-buffer indices increases greatly as you go further from the origin. So triangles that are quite close to eachother, but far from the

Re: [JAVA3D] opengl and directx

Yes, that's true, but u don't have to reinstall Java3D every time u need another version. Java3D doesn't put anything significant in registry (the most significant line is the path to .isu file in Uninstall section of the registry), that's i can say 4 sure. So, i created very simple .bat files to

Re: [JAVA3D] Packaging a 3D applet/application

Forget about running your Lightwave enabled program as an applet, since currently URL loading of lightwave files is not implemented yet (at least it hasn't been in J3D 1.1.x versions). I posted quite a big issue on this topic some time ago. But generally speaking, if u r using smth that can be cur

[JAVA3D] Curious: setWindowResizePolicy

I'm curious - Has anyone found a solution to the "setWindowResizePolicy(View.VIRTUAL_WORLD)" problem (i.e., it doesn't work - objects resize as window is enlarged, rather than staying the same size...)?? Or, does anyone know if this will be fixed in the upcoming release? Neil =

Re: [JAVA3D] Need an approach to writing an overlay to the Canvas3D

I haven't looked deep into this class yet, but you might try using the J3DGraphics2D class in Java 3D 1.2 Beta1. It subclasses Graphics2D to provide 2D rendering to a Canvas3D. You can read about it in the API docs. canvas3d.getGraphics2D() returns the a J3DGraphics2D object which then allows yo

[JAVA3D] RotationInterpolator

Hi, i'm trying to use the RotationInterpolator to rotate a scene, but i'm having trouble setting the rotational axis. It doesn't behave the way i thought it would. Could some one please explain how i set the AxisAngle to rotate around differing axis properly? the documentation doesn't say much

Re: [JAVA3D] RotationInterpolator

If your are using a SimpleUniverse, the viewpoint is on the Z axis, a few meters from the X-Y origin. This is a right-handed system, so you are looking at X axis + to the right, and Y axis + going vertical. Most examples show you how to rotated about the Y axis. If you do, then your objects will

Re: [JAVA3D] RotationInterpolator

Hi Nicolas, RotationInterpolator generates a rotation transform about the local Y-axis. If you want rotate about another axis, you need to change the axisOfRotation in the constructor. Suppose you need to rotate about the X-axis, then the Transform3D "axisOfRotation" should make a rotation to alig
