I HAD to extend a bunch of scene graph classes to write our FLT format loader and had no problems. But I only extended Group classes, such as Group, BranchGroup, Switch, etc. However, I did not try to extend Leaf classes like Shape3D. Perhaps there are some gotchas with the Leaf classes. Daniel

[JAVA3D] Render Order

I have loaded a VRML file with the VrmlLoader that looks great except that there isn't any Z-Buffer processing whatsoever. It looks like each object can be seen reguardless of objects that should obscure them, but not all of the time. They seem to flicker depending on (I guess the order in which

I will soon be embarking on a Java3D project. I will be using very complex scene graphs and needing enough fps for real-time feeling movement. There will also be a decent amount of processor utilization unrelated to the actual rendering. I am torn between a 700MHz Athalon based system with some
