[JAVA3D] Why rendering stops if there's an exception in the EventDispatchThread?

2004-09-29 Thread Pasi Paasiala
Hello, For a while I've been wondering the following: If there's an uncaught bug in some action, the rendering stops. To make sure that this is not a bug in our way of using Java3D, I modified the HelloUniverse application and got the problem duplicated there also. I added the following lines in t

One option is to use a texture that is larger than you need and just crop it using texture coordinates. Remember that your texture does not need to exactly fit your shape, but you can let the texture coordinates go from 0 to .75 for example. However in this case you would need a 1024x1024 texture,

Mike; Thanks for the suggestion. While performance is not an issue right now it will become a major factor for the final software!! Another thought would be the possibility of modifying the color of each grid cell to take account of the visibility information, rather than applying a surface textu

Fraser, This will definitely get you better performance. As for the looks, it depends on what you are going for. You can try it and play with the ColoringAttributes to adjust the blending algorithm. I'm not completely clear on what you are trying to accomplish so I can't be completely sure vertex
