Re: [JAVA3D] loader problems

Hi Shlomo, You can eliminate much of the info in the obj file(texture, normals). But it may be better to use ObjectFile as a guide to reading your iv file. I have rewritten it to read my file type as well as .obj files. It took a little time but it saves doing the conversion process and the stora

[JAVA3D] Controlling the number of colors rendered

I am using offscreen rendering to create a BufferedImage which I save to disk as a GIF file. This works fine except for the number of colors that are in the image. For a GIF file this is limited to 256, so there appear to be 2 choices: 1) use a filter to reduce the number of colors in the Bu

What about using JPEG from JDK 1.2 and later (com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.*) - then you'd have the full 16 million colors available. -Original Message- From: John Mosley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 11, 2000 8:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JAVA3D] Controlling the n

This works great, all you need is Netscape6 and you can install Java3D as below. My question is can you have a webpage install Java3D automagically from Sun's site assuming you already have Netscape6 installed? >Netscape6 preview release1 doesnt need plugin because it contains >java plugin, in

Re: [JAVA3D] Controlling the number of colors rendered

Kelvin, That is exactly what happens, I suggest 2 bits but I get back 8. It seems that you can only get GraphicsDevice's (and hence GraphicsConfiguration's) that are related to the actual screen display device. When using an offscreen buffer I wanted to specify the capabilities of that buffer, i

Hi all, I have VRML2 data from the Canoma(geometry from photos) software package. Much of the stuff on the archive is old. I want to use java3d as my real-time environment. The content in the VRML file is static so I only care about getting the geometry and corresponding textures into java3d(i.e

[JAVA3D] Rotation with respect to 2 3d points

I have a problem I'm trying to figure out here. I can see intuitively how to do it but not mathmatically. I have two cylinders (pipes actually) that I'm trying to draw an "arrow" between to show flow direction. So, what I really have is 2 3D points. (Transformation matricies actually, but only c
