I'm using Windows 2000. I was able to get the DirectX 6.1 beta release to work with my JDK 1.3, however this is only for applets embedded in html viewed using appletviewer. When I use the hotspot JVM (java.exe) it complains it can't find the javax.media.j3d classes. This happens even though I've put the jar files under jdk1.3\jre\lib and jdk1.3\jre\bin. Also, does anyone know how to get Voodoo3 opengl acceleration to work with Java3D - I believe this entails changing the opengl32.dll so that it uses the voodoo card instead of software rendering but I don't know what to replace it with. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
