Re: [JAVA3D] Xj3D VRML Loader and animations control for games

A recipe for humanoid animation with Java3D: * choose a humanoid model. This model must be non-molitic, i.e, each part can be accessed by name, as head, arm, etc; * load this model into you Java3D app, split the model by part, put each part in a TG. Put each part name string (key) and the TG(obj)

Re: [JAVA3D] the Need for Speed debate

here are my 2c: 1) carefully design your scene. Don't use TransformGroups if you don't plan to dynamically move the objects bellow. A static branch containing many TransformGroups is a waste of resources which results in poor performance and a high memory usage. Collapse whenever possible such sta

I guess I wasn't clear enough after all :). As a short answer, Nickolai is right: I actually already have a process that allows me to create "robot" like animations easily using the NWN Loader, Gmax and the NWMax script. (design with Gmax, export as MDL with the script and import with the loader
