Hi Sky What do people think of the StarFire loader vs the NCSA? Well I would recommend StarFire. I'm also using NCSA for DXF,COB,IOB and WRL but if the 3DS has the same problems as I have with the other formats I wouldn't use it. The only problem I have with StarFire is that it doesn't load

OpenGL and DirectX are 'immediate mode' 3D rendering APIs. OpenGL runs on everything down to probably your toaster and DirectX runs on PCs and the XBox pretty much exclusively. DirectX is slightly ahead of OpenGL 1.2 feature wise (damned slow ARB), but since you are using Java3D as an
