[JAVA3D] AW: [JAVA3D] Your Java3D Applications

[Volopich Heinz]

hi everybody,

 

Java3D brought together two of my hobbies - computer graphics and astronomy. I implemented a solar system simulation based on Java3D and lots of realistic texture maps. The various objects like the sun, planets, moons, and the International Space Station (VRML-Model) are true scaled in their size and relative distances. The time scale can be adjusted in the range from realtime to 1y=1sec from the GUI. The animation's speed - rotation, orbits - appears proportionate to this time scale. E.g. you can watch the earth' seasons changing during the year. There are a lot of further features like view animation, free flight, more then 5'000 stars at their real coordinates,...

I think I'll ship a somewhat fat (graphics!) jar around within next 2 month. Interested ? ... see the attached screen shot!

Everybody,

 

There must be a fair bit of Java3D development going on out there for this mailing list to be constantly ticking.

 

Thing is, I never see any of you write exactly what it is you are doing. I don't know about anyone else but I would be quite interested to know about what applications were on their way/in development using Java3D.

 

I'll start off

 

PROJECT: Java3D Molecular Visualisation System

PURPOSE: Renders popular molecular file data formats into 3D interactive representations:

STATUS: Version 2 released early 2000. Version 3 in development.
