Re: [JAVA3D] Setting Transforms

Shawn...   As usual it sounds like you guys are up to something interesting.  Did you post that your crew are attempting animations?  I don't suppose these are bone and mesh animations?  I have not attacked that problem yet, so I am interested in learning anything you guys might figure out.   Dave Yazel ----- Original Message ----- From: Shawn Kendall To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 4:57 PM Subject: [JAVA3D] Setting Transforms I apologize in advance, if this info is already been posted on the list or in the API docs. I have a few questions about TransformGroups, related to internal operations and performance... 1)  When setTransform() is called, does that cause a synchronized thread operation? My understanding was BranchGroups synchronize so you can attach/detach in the middle of a render.  Are TransformGroups similar to this?  Do they sync to prevent mid render changes? If so, if I know that my updates to my transforms happens BEFORE the render starts is there anyway to disable the sync 2)  Are there addition checking in TransformGroups related to the ViewPlatform.  Some of the weirdest bugs we seen seem to be related to the View and TransformGroups that are seeming unrelated in the scene graph.  If so, why does every TransformGroup do that checking when only a few TG will directly effect the View at any given time? Thanks for any insight. -- ___________________________________________________________ Shawn Kendall               Full Sail Real World Education Course Director             3300 University BLVD Real Time 3D for Gaming     Winter Park FL 32792 [EMAIL PROTECTED]       http://www.fullsail.com ___________________________________________________________
