Is there a reason the constructor for the StripifierStats is not public. Means that programs using the Stripifier cannot get stats back about how well it did. This would be useful information for someone using this package. Also, I notice that the source for this is not included in the utils di

Re: [JAVA3D] StripifierStats

Thanks. Realized when I awoke this morning that that might be the issue. Problem with posting a "bug" in the wee hours of the morning. Andrea Tartaro wrote: > > giles wrote: > > > > Is there a reason the constructor for the StripifierStats is not > > publ

Re: [JAVA3D] TransformGroup

Not sure which node you are asking for its children but if you are using SimpleUniverse then it will add a few groups for navigation. This might be whats going on. The code for SimpleUniverse is included wiht the Java3D downkload so ya can take a peak at what its doing. Desiree Hilbring wrote:

Re: [JAVA3D] VRML 97 coordinates to Java3D

Won't promise its optimal but here is the code from the Xj3D vrml loader. Haven't really looked into optimizng this for the new release. If others have sugesstions on how to improve this will glady take them. void updateTransform() { //System.out.println(this); tempVec.x = -v

Re: [JAVA3D] Error in Xj3d Vrml Loader -- IndexedFaceSet

Thank you Bo. Good catch. The current version of Xj3D has fixed this bug. You can either jump into the current version of CVS or wait a few days(likely April 20th) and we will be tagging a new release of the project as stable. I spent a fair bit of time pouring over the IndexedFaceSet code so

Re: [JAVA3D] light

Lights in Java3D are specified by Color. So to adjust the brightness you scale the color by the intensity. In VRML this is specified as two seperate items, color and intensity[0..1]. so the following code is used to adjust the brightness: lightColor.x = vfColor[0] * vfIntensity; lightColor.y =

Re: [JAVA3D] XJ3D Loader

I will be travelling alot in the next week. We are going to put out milestone 1 release on May 8th. Just doing testing now so if ya want to checkout a current CVS release and start bashing on it feel free. The loader portion is all done, mostly working on the sample browser right now. Olivier

Re: [JAVA3D] Problems compiling Xj3D Loader

The classes in com.sun.* are about to be phased out. Look at the examples in examples/DIYBrowser and examples/loader These will show you how to load VRML97 content into your J3D application. I'm in testing phase currently for a release on May 8th. So things are mostly stable in CVS. I'll have

Re: [JAVA3D] where can i find a vrml loader for java3d

I'd highly recommend the Xj3D VRML loader. But of course I'm totally biased! You can download it here: http://www.web3d.org/TaskGroups/source/xj3d.html Borja Marcos Suárez wrote: > > English > - > I cant find the vrml97 loader. Can someone give me the address where I can download >it?
