Hi ManChoon, This is probably because you are using perspective projection. Use parallel projection: View view = universe.getViewer().getView(); view.setProjectionPolicy(View.PARALLEL_PROJECTION); --Renoir ManChoon wrote: > I have a 3D coordinate system. > I draw the 0.5f scale's grid lin

I think the behavior you desire can be obtained by using the View.setProjectionPolicy( View . PARALLEL_PROJECTION ) method. regards Paul ManChoon schrieb: > I have a 3D coordinate system. > I draw the 0.5f scale's grid lines at the XY plane. > I set the camera at Vector3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 2.0f); > >

Re: [JAVA3D] Overlay Library

Well the way we are going will allow you to deal with the overlay in a way similar to a JWindow. Basically you create the overlay at a certain size, and you can position it anywhere you want. You can change its position any time. The position is same as AWT, which puts 0,0 as the upper left han

My experiences with printing debug text within the 3d scene haven't been good. I've tried several different methods, including Text2D, overriding Canvas3D.postSwap(), and finally using a textured quad just in front of the forward clipping plane. So far, the textured quad has been the fastest and
