Hello Kelvin and Lee,
I'm using the latest OpenGL version (1.2) of Java3d, although this the
problem has been there already in version 1.1.3.
The reason why I'd like to get rid of those lines is that my geometry
represents buildings and there each line should have a meaning.
Attached is a screen copy of a model that shows some walls. The walls are
modeled using com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.Box. I'm having other more
complicated geometries also that have the same problem.
Lee Dixon mentioned that I'm using triangles. It seems that I am but not on
purpose. Would it be possible to write a method that would convert any shape
that is built from triangles to a shape that would merge neighbouring
triangles to a polyline when the triangles have identical normals? I quess
it would, is there anybody who is capable and interested (I'm only
interested) in doing this. Or should it be done by the video hardware?
Pasi
