[JAVA3D] How to change the capabilities of the viewingplatform

I have a n by m grids, each grid is devided into 2 triangles. I used the TriangleStripArray(int vertexCount, int vertexFormat, int[] stripVertexCounts). vertexCount = n * m vertexFormat = GeometryArray.COORDINATES | GeometryArray.NORMALS, stripVertexCounts = {(m-1)*2, (m-1)*2, } (this array

[JAVA3D] VerifyError problems

Folks, This is a really odd one that I just can't work out. I've got a bunch of geometry classes that extend Shape3D. I can compile and create the classes no problems. However, when I attempt to add an instance of *some* of them to a Group node I get the verify error. Unfortunately there isn't ev

Re: [JAVA3D] Grafic card question

Hi, I just set the front clipping plane very far. That helped, but to examine the viewer needs to zoom into the scene, I am using the MouseZoom Behavior for that. During zooming the objects is clipped very to early. Can I adjust the front and back clipping planes during zooming? Tanks for your h

Re: [JAVA3D] Grafic card question

Hi, currently I try to reset my clipping planes. Until now I am calculating the necessary back clip distance (distance to see entire scene + 1/4*distance to see entire scene) and then calculating the front clip distance with a ratio somewhere between 500 and 3000 ( I tried some of them with no su

[JAVA3D] Big problem with Triangulator

I don't like about that is when I triangulate a trimmed NURBS surface with holes in it, the triangulation is correct but all the normals generated are in the opposite direction of the NURBS surface. In my case the BURBS surface has a normal (0,0,1.0) but the normals generated by the triangulator

[JAVA3D] Query on the design of the KeyNavigator package!

HI, I'm writing a game using Java3D for my final year project at South BankUniversity in London.   I've found the KeyNavigator convenience package of immense use, but I'm curious about a simple detail. The calculation of the new position of the view port and the following update of the view por

Re: [JAVA3D] Level-Of-Detail.

I think most of the people use SimpleUniverse. We don't really use SimpleUniverse, but I think it provides methods to project points onto the view plane. I took a brief look at the documentation and I think getVworldToImagePlate sets a Transform3D that can be used to project the points. (please co

[JAVA3D] Fog (Linear) Differing Results

All - I have fog working beautifully on some machines and not at all on others. Even on the same machines with different OS's I get different results. Clearly this tells me that the problems are likely driver problems, but I saw this and wondered if it might be a related problem. > You're rig

Re: [JAVA3D] Fog (Linear) Differing Results

Hi Mark, Which version OpenGL/DirectX of Java3D are you using ? This bug is only relevant if you are using DirectX version and is already fixed in latest release. If you are using DirectX version, I believe what you see is due to different fog implementation by driver. Note that DirectX vers

Re: [JAVA3D] Fog (Linear) Differing Results

Kelvin, In the body of the email I indicated J3D (Java3D) 1.2.1_01 for both OGL and D3D. I think, therefore, that this is a driver issue--although I see it across different machines, boards, and operating systems. So essentially I should probably not rely on fog looking reasonably consistent ac

Hi Philip, Great summary. The problem of non W-Friendly projection matrix is fixed in v1.2.1 beta2 and later (that's bug 4402941 which we use -1 instead of 1 in _m34). Java3D only set D3DRENDERSTATE_FOGVERTEXMODE and corresponding values. Do you mean (1) If the driver did not support it, Dir

Hi Kelvin. glad you thought the post useful. I erred on the side of sending more data rather than less. Usually a good thing :-). no, D3D doesnt automatically fallback. I meant 2, as you indicate below - that a smart application would examine the local configuration and attempt to use the featur
