Hello i am using Java3d for the first time and am having trouble with
a method to pick up specific layers of the cube. If any of you understand
the cube you would know that there are nine layers which we can choose to
rotate in any direction. I have made the cubelets by using the Box utility
class. Given them the appropriate color and arranged them in their proper
places.I have so far made three layers which i can manipulate through the
key boards but as you know i can only manipulate three layers as they are
transform group with simple behaviour classes for 90 degrees rotation. I
can rotate the whole cube by choosing to enable the behavor for the
branchgroup containing all three transform groups.Now my problem is that
java3d does not allow cubelets to be put into more than one transform
group.Or share the cubelets in more than one transform group.If i could do
so i might update other transform group when ever i rotate a layer but
this is not possible.
Just what should i do to be able to pick up any of the nine layers through
mouse making them rotate only in one axis.Pls i need help and i am very
desperate if you guys can please send me any
additional reading material apart from what is given by Java3d i would be
greatfull.
I need help fast,some code would do better. I am currently looking in the
possibility of redoing the cube with geometry classes if their is no way
around.
Please i have a deadline approaching in a day any help would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
