Hi,
I am very new to the Java3D environment. I am working
on a small assignement on the simillar lines that
Hardy mentioned. I got couple of questions...
Hardy...
1. How do you generate the 3D model: the pool-room???
2. How to interact with-in inside the walls of
pool-room???
Any help is appreciated...
Thanx
sivaram.
