>Java 3D(TM) 1.2.1 Beta
>
>README file for Win32/DirectX
>
>This file contains important information for users of Java 3D(TM).
>The first three sections (Requirements, Installation, and Running
>Java 3D(TM) in a Browser) are of interest to all Java 3D(TM) users.
>The rest of this file applies only to developers of Java 3D(TM)
>applications.
>
>** It is recommended that any previous version of Java 3D(TM) be
>** uninstalled before installing this version.
>
>============
>REQUIREMENTS
>============
>
>This version of Java 3D(TM) for Windows 98 and Windows 2000
>requires the following:
>
>         Java 2 (Runtime or SDK) version 1.2.2 or later from Sun
>         Microsystems (http://java.sun.com/jdk/).  This includes
>         the Java Plug-In (JPI) to update Java(TM) in your browser.
>
>         DirectX 7.0 or later, available from Microsoft
>         (http://www.microsoft.com/directx/default.asp).
>
>============
>INSTALLATION
>============
>
>You must have permission to write files in your Java(TM) Runtime
>Environment and/or SDK directories.  If you do not have this
>permission, the installer will run to completion but Java 3D(TM)
>will not be installed.  Make sure you are running Java(TM) from
>your local machine and that you are the same user who installed
>Java.
>
>To install Java 3D(TM), execute the Java 3D(TM) GUI Installer
>program from any directory:
>
>    Runtime only:      java3d1_2_1beta1-win32-directx-rt-ia.bin
>    Runtime and SDK:   java3d1_2_1beta1-win32-directx-sdk-ia.bin
>
>The installers will upgrade your most recently installed Java
>Runtime Environment and SDK.
>
>After installation, you may remove the executable GUI installer.
>
>The Java 3D(TM) SDK includes several demo programs that can
>verify correct installation.  Assuming your Java 2 SDK is installed
>at \jdk1.3, try the following:
>
>         cd \jdk1.3\demo\java3d\HelloUniverse
>         java HelloUniverse
>
>         Note: Many more demos are available under the demo\java3d\
>               directory.  Some of the demos require a maximum memory
>               pool larger than the default in java.  To increase the
>               maximum memory pool to 64 meg, add the following command
>               line options to java or appletviewer:
>                   java: -mx64m
>                   appletviewer: -J-mx64m
>
>
>Java 3D(TM) consists of four jar files and two shared libraries.
>You do not need to include the jar files in your CLASSPATH,
>nor do you need to include the shared libraries in your PATH.
>You should include "." in your CLASSPATH or ensure that CLASSPATH
>is not set.
>
>Java 3D documentation and tutorials are available from the Java 3D(TM)
>Home Page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/
>
>
>================================
>RUNNING JAVA 3D(TM) IN A BROWSER
>================================
>
>You can run Java 3D(TM) programs in your browser.  Java 2(TM)
>from Sun includes the Java Plug-In (JPI) to upgrade the Java(TM)
>in the browser to Java 2(TM).  To verify proper installation,
>point your browser to file:/jdk1.3/demo/java3d/index.html
>
>NOTE: Many Java 3D(TM) programs will require a larger heap size
>than the default 16M in the JPI.  Run the Java Plug-In Control
>Panel from Start/Programs (JPI 1.2.2) or Start/Settings/Control
>Panel (JPI 1.3) and in "Java Run Time Parameters" put "mx64m"
>for 64M of heap memory.
>
>To create a web page with Java 3D, you need to use special HTML
>code to force the browser to use the JPI VM.  Refer to the
>following URL for information on using Java Plug-In "HTML
>Converter" and running applets using Java Plug-in:
>
>         http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/
>
>====================================================
>DISTRIBUTING Java 3D(TM) WITH YOUR JAVA(TM) PROGRAMS
>====================================================
>
>Sun Microsystems allows vendors to distribute the Java 3D(TM) Runtime
>environment with their Java programs, provided they follow the terms
>of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License agreement.
>
>This document uses the term "vendors" to refer to licensees,
>developers, and independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and
>distribute Java 3D(TM) with their Java programs.
>
>REQUIRED vs. OPTIONAL FILES
>---------------------------
>Vendors must follow the terms of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License
>agreement, which includes these terms:
>
>  - Don't arbitrarily subset Java 3D(TM). You may, however, omit those
>    files that have been designated below as "optional".
>

>NEW FEATURES
>============
>
>All example program now have example.html and example_plugin.html for
>use with the plugin feature available with most web browsers.  In addition,
>an html page, demo/java3d/index.html now contains links to all demo programs
>that can be run as applets.
>
>=======================
>Constructing a Canvas3D
>=======================
>
>Many Java 3D programs pass null to the Canvas3D constructor.  By doing
>this, Java 3D will select a default GraphicsConfiguration that is
>appropriate for Java 3D.  However, this is a bad practice, and can lead
>to errors when applications try to run in alternate environments, such as
>stereo viewing.  Java 3D will now print out a warning if the Canvas3D
>constructor is passed in a null argument for the GraphicsConfiguration.
>
>=========
>Utilities
>=========
>
>This release includes utilities for Java 3D.  These utilities are still
>being defined and under development.  Much of the source for these utilities
>is also provided.  The API for these utilities may change in future releases.
>
>The following utilities are provided in this release:
>
>         - Java Sound Audio Device
>         - Some predefined Mouse based behaviors
>         - Picking utilities including predefined picking behaviors
>         - Geometry creation classes for Box, Cone, Cylinder, and Sphere
>         - A Text2D utility
>         - A Universe Builder - SimpleUniverse
>         - An Image Loading utility
>         - A Normal Generator utility
>         - A Polygon Triangulator utility
>         - Triangle stripifier
>         - Geometry compression utilities
>         - Spline-based path interpolators
>         - Wavefront .obj loader
>         - Lightwave 3D File Loader
>
>===================================
>Enabling Stereo with SimpleUniverse
>===================================
>
>The SimpleUniverse utility does not, by default, request a
>GraphicsConfiguration that is capable of Stereo rendering.  To enable this,
>you need to set a property when running your application.  Here is an
>example.
>
>java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED MyProgram
>
>Some framebuffers only have one Z buffer and share this between the left
>and right eyes.  If you are experiencing problems using stereo try the
>following property:
>
>java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED -Dj3d.sharedstereozbuffer=true MyProgram

>
>   Fullscreen Support
>   ------------------------
>   The Direct3D implementation of Java 3D can be run in fullscreen mode.
>   To start an application in fullscreen mode, use the property
> j3d.fullscreen.
>   The values for j3d.fullscreen are:
>     REQUIRED  -   A fullscreen canvas is required. If not available, do not
>                   start up the application.
>     PREFERRED -   A fullscreen canvas is desired for this invocation of the
>                   Java 3D application.  If a fullscreen canvas cannot be
>                   created, a windowed canvas is acceptable.
>     UNNECESSARY - States that a fullscreen canvas is not necessary for this
>                   application.  Create a windowed application (this is the
>                   same behavior as not setting this property).
>
>   Example:
>     java -Dj3d.fullscreen=REQUIRED HelloUniverse
>
>   Further, an application can be toggled between fullscreen and windowed mode
>   by use of the <Alt><Enter> keyboard combination.
>
>   Stereo Support
>   --------------
>   Java 3D can render in stereo mode on graphics cards that support stereo
>   through Direct3D.  To enable stereo for a Java 3D application, use
>   the Java 3D property: j3d.stereo.
>
>   For example:
>     java -Dj3d.stereo=REQUIRED
>   The valid values for the j3d.stereo property are the same as those for the
>   j3d.fullscreen property given above.
>
>   Some framebuffers only have one Z buffer and share this between the left
>   and right eyes.  If you are experiencing problems using stereo try the
>   following property:
>
>   java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED -Dj3d.sharedstereozbuffer=true MyProgram
>
>   NOTE: Direct3D only supports stereo mode for a fullscreen canvas.
>
>
>   Direct3D Device Selection
>   -------------------------
>   In order to aid in development and debugging, Java 3D has added a property
>   to allow the D3DDevice to use for rendering to be selected.  The property,
>   j3d.d3ddevice can have the following values:
>     tnlhardware - select a device that supports transform and lighting in
>                   hardware, if present.  If no such device is present,
>                   a dialog box is displayed to alert the user and the
>                   application will exit.
>     hardware    - select a Direct3D device that performs hardware
>                   rasterization, if present.  If no such device is present,
>                   a dialog box is displayed to alert the user and the
>                   application will exit.
>     emulation   - use Direct3D software emulation.
>     reference   - use the Direct3D reference pipeline (only available if
>                   the Direct3D SDK is installed).
>
>   By default Java 3D first tries to select a TnLhardaware device, if that
> fails
>   a Hardware device, if that also fails then finally Java 3D selects an
>   Emulation device.
>
>   Vertex Buffer optimization
>   ---------------------------
>
>   By default, DirectX vertex buffer features are used to increase
>   performance whenever the OpenGL display list feature would be
>   used.  If there is a problem with your driver's implementation
>   of vertex buffers, turn off this optimization:
>
>   -Dj3d.vertexbuffer=false
>
>   Ignored Java 3D Properties
>   --------------------------
>   The following Java 3D properties are ignored by the Direct3D
> implementation:
>     j3d.sharedctx
>     j3d.g2ddrawpixel

>Java 3D(TM) 1.2.1 Beta
>
>README file for Win32/OpenGL
>
>This file contains important information for users of Java 3D(TM).
>The first four sections (Requirements, Installation, Shared
>Contexts, and Running Java 3D(TM) in a Browser) are of interest
>to all Java 3D(TM) users.  The rest of this file applies only to
>developers of Java 3D(TM) applications.
>
>** It is recommended that any previous version of Java 3D(TM) be
>** uninstalled before installing this version.
>
>============
>REQUIREMENTS
>============
>
>This version of Java 3D(TM) for WindowsNT 4.0,
>Windows 98, and Windows 2000 requires the following:
>
>         Java 2 (Runtime or SDK) version 1.2.2 or later from Sun
>         Microsystems (http://java.sun.com/jdk/).  This includes
>         the Java Plug-In (JPI) to update Java(TM) in your browser.
>
>         OpenGL 1.1 or later, available from Microsoft or from
>         your graphics card manufacturer (see below).
>
>         NT 4.0 only: Service Pack 3 or later.
>
>============
>INSTALLATION
>============
>
>You must have permission to write files in your Java(TM) Runtime
>Environment and/or SDK directories.  If you do not have this
>permission, the installer will run to completion but Java 3D(TM)
>will not be installed.  Make sure you are running Java(TM) from
>your local machine and that you are the same user who installed
>Java.
>
>To install Java 3D(TM), execute the Java 3D(TM) GUI Installer
>program from any directory:
>
>    Runtime only:      java3d1_2_1beta1-win32-opengl-rt-ia.bin
>    Runtime and SDK:   java3d1_2_1beta1-win32-opengl-sdk-ia.bin
>
>The installers upgrade your most recently installed Java Runtime
>Environment and SDK.
>
>After installation, you may remove the executable GUI installer.
>
>The Java 3D(TM) SDK includes several demo programs that can
>verify correct installation.  Assuming your Java 2 SDK is installed
>at \jdk1.3, try the following:
>
>         cd \jdk1.3\demo\java3d\HelloUniverse
>         java HelloUniverse
>
>         Note: Many more demos are available under the demo\java3d\
>               directory.  Some of the demos require a maximum memory
>               pool larger than the default in java.  To increase the
>               maximum memory pool to 64 meg, add the following command
>               line options to java or appletviewer:
>                   java: -mx64m
>                   appletviewer: -J-mx64m
>
>If, after installation, you get the following error message while
>running a Java 3D program:
>
>   java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no J3D in shared library path
>
>it is most likely because OpenGL and/or the OpenGL GLU utilities are
>not installed on the machine.
>
>For information on OpenGL and how to get it, see the OpenGL web page at
>http://www.opengl.org/
>
>Java 3D(TM) consists of four jar files and two shared libraries.
>You do not need to include the jar files in your CLASSPATH,
>nor do you need to include the shared libraries in your PATH.
>You should include "." in your CLASSPATH or ensure that CLASSPATH
>is not set.
>
>Java 3D documentation and tutorials are available from the Java 3D(TM)
>Home Page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/
>
>===============
>SHARED CONTEXTS
>===============
>
>This version of Java 3D is able to use shared contexts in OpenGL for Display
>Lists and Texture Objects.  For single canvas applications, there will be no
>change in behavior.  For multiple canvas applications, memory requirements
>will decrease by using this property.  To enable the use of shared contexts
>set the j3d.sharedctx property to true, for example:
>
>     java -Dj3d.sharedctx=true MyProgram
>
>
>Some video cards, such as the Riva TNT & TNT2, have problems using shared
>contexts.  If you are experiencing no rendering, crashes, or no textures
>being displayed when shared contexts are enabled, this is the most likely
>problem.
>
>================================
>RUNNING JAVA 3D(TM) IN A BROWSER
>================================
>
>You can run Java 3D(TM) programs in your browser.  Java 2(TM)
>from Sun includes the Java Plug-In (JPI) to upgrade the Java(TM)
>in the browser to Java 2(TM).  To verify proper installation,
>point your browser to file:/jdk1.3/demo/java3d/index.html
>
>NOTE: Many Java 3D(TM) programs will require a larger heap size
>than the default 16M in the JPI.  Run the Java Plug-In Control
>Panel from Start/Programs (JPI 1.2.2) or Start/Settings/Control
>Panel (JPI 1.3) and in "Java Run Time Parameters" put "mx64m"
>for 64M of heap memory.
>
>To create a web page with Java 3D, you need to use special HTML
>code to force the browser to use the JPI VM.  Refer to the
>following URL for information on using Java Plug-In "HTML
>Converter" and running applets using Java Plug-in:

>DISTRIBUTING Java 3D(TM) WITH YOUR JAVA(TM) PROGRAMS
>====================================================
>
>Sun Microsystems allows vendors to distribute the Java 3D(TM) Runtime
>environment with their Java programs, provided they follow the terms
>of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License agreement.
>
>This document uses the term "vendors" to refer to licensees,
>developers, and independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and
>distribute Java 3D(TM) with their Java programs.
>
>REQUIRED vs. OPTIONAL FILES
>---------------------------
>Vendors must follow the terms of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License
>agreement, which includes these terms:
>
>  - Don't arbitrarily subset Java 3D(TM). You may, however, omit those
>    files that have been designated below as "optional".

>============
>NEW FEATURES
>============
>
>All example program now have example.html and example_plugin.html for
>use with the plugin feature available with most web browsers.  In addition,
>an html page, demo/java3d/index.html now contains links to all demo programs
>that can be run as applets.
>
>=======================
>Constructing a Canvas3D
>=======================
>
>Many Java 3D programs pass null to the Canvas3D constructor.  By doing
>this, Java 3D will select a default GraphicsConfiguration that is
>appropriate for Java 3D.  However, this is a bad practice, and can lead
>to errors when applications try to run in alternate environments, such as
>stereo viewing.  Java 3D will now print out a warning if the Canvas3D
>constructor is passed in a null argument for the GraphicsConfiguration.
>
>=========
>Utilities
>=========
>
>This release includes utilities for Java 3D.  These utilities are still
>being defined and under development.  Much of the source for these utilities
>is also provided.  The API for these utilities may change in future releases.
>
>The following utilities are provided in this release:
>
>         - Java Sound Audio Device
>         - Some predefined Mouse based behaviors
>         - Picking utilities including predefined picking behaviors
>         - Geometry creation classes for Box, Cone, Cylinder, and Sphere
>         - A Text2D utility
>         - A Universe Builder - SimpleUniverse
>         - An Image Loading utility
>         - A Normal Generator utility
>         - A Polygon Triangulator utility
>         - Triangle stripifier
>         - Geometry compression utilities
>         - Spline-based path interpolators
>         - Wavefront .obj loader
>         - Lightwave 3D File Loader
>
>===================================
>Enabling Stereo with SimpleUniverse
>===================================
>
>The SimpleUniverse utility does not, by default, request a
>GraphicsConfiguration that is capable of Stereo rendering.  To enable this,
>you need to set a property when running your application.  Here is an
>example.
>
>java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED MyProgram
>
>Some framebuffers only have one Z buffer and share this between the left
>and right eyes.  If you are experiencing problems using stereo try the
>following property:
>
>java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED -Dj3d.sharedstereozbuffer=true MyProgram
