Re: [JAVA3D] what to expect in the next versions of Java3D

[Mark Ferneau]

Myron,

These are the scant notes I took.  I think, however, that Michael should post his presentation notes for us all.

1.2.1 Release:
        - Beta: Summer
        - FCS: Q3 (first-customer ship)
        - *May* include self-install / plugin (indirectly via web start)

1.3:
        - API Release Q3:
        - Thoughts on what may be in 1.3:

- Constrain object to a specified view

- Advanced texture mapping

- Texture3D by reference

- Add ogl-style color selector

- Background changes

- Serialized J3D scene graph

- Ability to offset raster in screen coordinates to other point

- Audio device L2 support

At the SIGGRAPH Java 3D BOF session the SUN rep put up power point slides
detailing what we may see in the coming versions of Java 3D - 1.2.1, 1.3 &
1.4. Unfortunately I did not take written notes and hence have forgotten
many of the specifics. I thought I would be able to get them from the
j3d.org site but haven't been able to do so thus far. I was wondering if
anyone who did take notes would be willing to refresh my memory by either
posting to the list or sending me email personally ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
with the specifics.

Thanks,
Myron
