Hi! I'm new to Java3D (and java also!) so I'm pretty sure that I'm going in the wrong direction with this. The situation is that I wan't to animate a water surface. I receive a mesh from another program and wanted to animate it using a Morph Object and the MorphBehavior class (from an example in the j3d tutorial by SUN). I'm using a Quadarray[] Object to store ALL my xyz coordinates. Should I use triangles (Strips, Fans ??) to create my water surface or are Quadarrays ok? Does Java3D have something like Mesh (ad MeshInterpolator or grids) ??? The problem doing it this way is, that I have 2000 panels, that means my QuadArray has 1400 panels * 4 points per panel * 3 (x,y,z coordinates) = 24000 floating point values. And this 800 times (yes, I have 800 timesteps!). So, it would be MUCH better to define only once the x and y coordinates and only pass the z coordinte since this is the only changing in time. What should I use? QuadArrays or not to describe my surface? Mesh? Grid? And to animate? Is there any Interpolator out there? Many thanks, richard -- Richard Ems ... e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...
