Re: [JAVA3D] Lights on texture

I just ran into this the other day. To see lighting effects on textured objects, be sure that you have: Material.setLightingEnable(true); Supplied normals for the Shape3D geometry TextureAttributes.setTextureMode(TextureAttributes.MODULATE); The last is probably the one you are missing. It all

An approach I use (for shaded terrain rendering) is the following: 1. Set the color of the underlying mesh to Color3f(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f) 2. Define a material object : material.setAmbientColor(color); material.setDiffuseColor(color); 3. Set the Gourad shading model in ColoringAttributes 4

Re: [JAVA3D] Fullscreen (and resolution mode) planned?

Ok. I vote definitely FOR a fullscreen mode. This is a must, if J3D really plans to become a standard 3D-plattform. If i develop an application (it doesn't have to be a game), eg. something with an HMD, or for the dreamcast console with Windows CE it is necessary to switch to fullscreen mode. By t

Bird.Port and Bird.Bps need to be sent instead of BirdPort and BirdBps. This is a mistake in the distribution. A couple of suggestions: You have to use "COM1" (not com1: or com1) if you're hooking this up to a PC. Be sure your EPROMS are up to date in the Flock. Also, in talking to other use
