[JAVA3D] Scene Antialiasing? Why so slow?

I'm running a P2 450 Mhz, 256 MB PC 100 Ram, 16 MB TNT1 graphics card, NVidia 12.41 drivers, Windows 2000, and JDK 1.3.1 with Java3D 1.2.1_02. I have a simple world that just has some cubes in it. The cubes move around according to keyboard input. Normally, this runs at about 40-60 FPS. However

[JAVA3D] Waiting for offscreen buffer rendering stalls my app

Hi all, i'm wondering what i'm doing wrong. To get around heavy- and lightweight component mixing, i want to render to an offscreen canvas and draw the image to a JPanel. what i do: - i'm setting the width and height of the canvas - i'm setting the physical screen size of the canvas screen3d - i

Hi Joachim, thanks for your reply. I tested it, but it has no effect. The really unfortunate thing is that in all examples there exists a OnScreenCanvas from which they use the view. I use the default view of the canvas (which happens to be exactly what i want for onscreen rendering). Perhaps th

Re: [JAVA3D] Scene Antialiasing? Why so slow?

I'm not sure how it works in Java's scene anti-aliasing, but generally full screen anti-aliasing takes the current screen size and renders it at twice the size (i.e. if canvas is 800x600, then it renders at 1600x1200). Rendering 4 times the data makes it much slower. Then it samples the points ar
