I want to have a
Swing user interface, painted on a face of a Java 3D Cube.
There are tutorials
and samples which describe using Java 3D *inside* Swing, but I didn't
find
anything on using
Swing *inside* Java3D.
However it seems
that both technologies use the underlying awt at the low level,
I'll
be very interested to see such a thing. Theoretically it's
possible.
How I
imagine it:
a)
create the swing panel
b)
create an offscreen image
c)
paint the swing panel on the offscreen image
d) set
the offscreen image as a texture of the java3d cube.
The
offscreen image need no

reminded me of the Project Looking Glass:

There's nothing wrong with the lookAt method. The problem relies entirely on
your code. Your Arrow, for example, shouldn't take positions as constructor
arguments. It should be always created as center=(0, 0, 0),
pointer=(0, -length/2, 0). That corresponds to the initial orientation of

No, I have a completely different problem.
Your problem can be solved by inverting the transform.

If you have an java3d installation for the SGI box, your application should
run regardless of where it was developed. However, care should be taken so
that the SGI version of java3d should be greater or equal to the java3d
version of where it was developed. Also, make sure that you meet all the SGI
How
about painting a canvas3D on the side of a cube. Through the looking glass ...
Great idea, gives me all kinds of visions, but I guess it would be a miracle of
OO design if the original designers didn't use it as a design goal. Can't
rule it out though.
Thanks,

Hi, I am currently trying to have a camera, looking at a cube from the
top view, then when I press up/down/left/right, camera will move along
the x-z plane, since I am using virtual universe, I cannot use
viewingplatform, and I don't like behavior class so I would like to use

The second question I wanna ask is that how do I use lookAt()?
You must call invert() like this:
ct3d.lookAt(new Point3d(0, 0, 5f), new Point3d(0, 0, 0), new Vector3d(0,
-1, 0));
tg.invert();
tg.setTransform(ct3d);
Btw. Are you sure -Y is upwards in your universe? Seem to be an unusual
i think there is a typo bellow, it should be ct3d.invert() instead of

If what you need is a 2D GUI interface inside a 3D
enviroment, you can plan some pickable 3D objects
(simple quads) with proper texture rendering and a
behavior when clicked. But porting Swing to run
inside a 3D inviromen

Yes the same java program should be able to run with both versions of the
Java3D library without recompiling. More below

You are are right. Nice of you to call it a typo. :)

Thank you very much for the answer.
But i have still the following problem:
I have 2 Points given and i have to draw an arrow between point1 to point2.
So i have tried to solve my problem with the lookAt method.
But it seems that i haven't implemented my arrow in a right way.

Hi, thank you for replying. I tried t3d.invert() with the lookAt()
function but it still doesn't work. If I move the cube to (0, 0, -5),
it shows me the cube, but I tried to move the TranformGroup between the
BG and ViewPlatform by using lookAt(new Point3d(0, 0, 0), new Point3d(0,
-5, 0), new Vec
Maybe you should use this instead:
lookAt(new Point3d(0, 0, 0), new Point3d(0, 0, -5), new Vector3f(0, 1,
0));
Hope this helps.

Are the listeners of Java 1.4 (like mouselistener
and keylisener) valid in J3d?
Because they don't seem to have any effect in my

Andre,
Thanks for your detailed answer. Think I'm going to try RMI. Suppose,
the best I can do now is to develop a small testprogram and try it out
on the prospect's server.
