Hi Javier, Many people have experience problems mixing heavy-weight Java3D components (e.g. Canvas3D) with Swing components. However with caution, it can be done. A quote from somewhere: "...Java 3D components are heavyweight. That is, they have a native (non-Java) peer that actually does the re

Has anyone developed Java Classes/Methods to do native OpenGL calls? Anyone know of some documentation on this? Although I like Java 3D, it often seems a big pain to use. For example, no Java 3D on the Macs, needs additional plugin installed and I never got good performance when I try to display

Bob, Well, Java 3D does the native OpenGL calls for us. It's kinda the point of using Java3D - so that we *don't* have to write those native libraries. Performance with Java3D seems very good and is not what I'd consider the major issue. You mention displaying and spinning several transparent

Re: the performance problems. It's likely that you're using the default setting for spheres. Request a smaller number of divisions in the constructor and you'll likely see a speed improvement. The default for divisions is set pretty high. (At least it had been previously...this might have cha

This can only happen if you don't have portfolio.jar in your CLASSPATH correctly. You need to double check it. Try setting it in the DOS window you open, right before you execute the javac command. At 04:57 PM 7/6/2000 +0200, you wrote: >Hello, > >I want use a loader for 3DS created by NCSA to
