Hello,
I would like to use the CompressedGeometry class and utilities, but I am a
bit concerned about the following statement taken from The Java 3D API
Specification's Appendix B....
"Java 3D uses a compressed geometry format that allows 3D geometry to be
represented in an order of magnitude less space than most traditional 3D
representations, with very little loss in object quality."
I am particularly concerned with the words "... with very little loss in
object quality". My concern/question is as follows. Does this refer to
(possibly) losing the actual co-ordinate (i.e. x, y, z) and color data or
does this refer to losing Appearance attributes above and beyond color (e.g.
Polygon fill mode, Texturing, Transparency, etc.)? My hope is that the
actual geometric/co-ordinate data is NOT lost. What data may be lost?
Thank you for your time.
Joe
