Title: RE: [JAVA3D] Dark CAVES

How do you handle the "graphics pipeline per screen" problem that Manuel writes about?  Do you have special Java or Java 3D code to handle this?  If so, is it available for others to use?   Bob Gray -----Original Message----- From: Giuseppe Conti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 9:46 AM To: Discussion list for Java 3D API Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re: [JAVA3D] Dark CAVES Dear Manuel and Bob, I don't know exactly what your problem is but we are currently using SGI 1.1.3 with our Onyx2 running a Reality Centre and works fine. As I wrote you few weeks ago now our projectors are in perfect synch and the general performance is good. I guess the code required for a CAVE use wouldn't be much different but I don't know if you need rel. 1.2 for other reason then "building up" the graphic environment. Of course having the 1.2 release would be much better since I'd allow use of more than one pipe (according to Michael Schulman's email of a few weeks ago...) and we also wrote Sgi asking for a 1.2beta version. I hope that all this "pressing" will let them understand the importance of a new realease for the developer community and good luck !!   Best wishes, Giuseppe ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Gray To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 2:48 PM Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] Dark CAVES This is bad news for me.  I was just about to search the Java3D archives for the notes on using Java 3D in a CAVE on SGI hardware.  I have an opportunity to use a CAVE and thought I'd be able to use my existing Java 3D programs....... From this note, it seems to say that the SGI folks(?) need to port Java 3D to their SGI system(?).  This isn't in the Java 3D development team's area to do? I would certainly like more info on this subject.

The people from SUN were helpful and pointed out the need for Java3D 1.2 (current version on SGI is 1.1.3). After some delay, I got a reply from the SGI folks. It was not encouraging. Basically, Java3D 1.2 does not seem a priority in their TODO list.
