Hi Bassam,   maybe you're on the wrong list here, don't you think so ? Questions about how to use 3ds should go to the 3ds mailing lists, where (most probably) you'll get qualified answers.   Cheers,   Florin -Original Message-From: Discussion list for Java 3D API [mailto:[EMAI

You definitely have a problem with your texture-colordepth. In my opinion thats not a problem of J3D but of your graphics card settings.

Chris, Is the problem just with screenshots? Or in the actual Java 3D display? If screenshots then it looks like a really large compression setting if you are originally exporting as JPG. If it's in Java 3D then I'd certainly question what the color depth setting of your screen display is. - J

Chris, Actually I take that back, it shouldn't be the screen capture as your spheres are nice and crisp. Thus it appears that however you've mapped the texture onto the background it may be getting magnified poorly. - John Wright Starfire Research Chris Ender wrote: > > Hi everyone! > Thanks fo

Hi Chris, I took a look at the pictures and I have to say that there is a big difference between them...!   The original picture "texture" is definitly 24 bit color, I can tell by the grading of the grey color and the white too.Pfeifer might be right , there are some graphic cards that do not

As far as I remember the ATI-Control-Panels offer a possibility to specify the texture graphics depth too (or was it for the background only?). On Tue, 17 Feb 2004 15:44:42 +0100, Chris Ender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi John, I send you the non-cropped screenshot of my java3d application. please

There is so little information about playing sound in Java3D. I've been through all of the books, the tutorials and even this archive and found very little. My questions: 1. Is there a definitive reference on sound in Java3D? 2. I don't want to use a SimpleUniverse, so I've used both JavaSoundMix

Paul, I'd appreciate hearing some feedback on this issue too. We abandonned Java 3D sound long ago as too hopelessly unreliable, and I haven't spent any time looking at it again, for several years now. - John Wright Starfire Research Paul Brown wrote: > > There is so little information about pl

Ok, in answer to question 3, I've just seen in the JavaDocs that applications should not call the mixer methods directly. they're only public for the benefit of the J3D core. I'd appreciate answers to my other questions though. Many thanks. -Paul
