Hi All,
We are about to release a demo Java3D application "Sun Java3D(tm) Fly Through".
This application allows users to load geometry from various formats (using
some of the loaders available on www.j3d.org) and navigate around the model.
The application includes an extensible view platform collision API which
uses picking, it also includes some default view platform behaviors including
a Drive behavior which will follow terrain.
The app includes other API's such as a SceneGraph IO system for storing
Java3D scene graphs in a file or sending them over a Stream.
The application will ship with full source code and a license which allows the
code to be reused (check the license file for full details).
I'll post to this list as soon as the code is available on the web.
Rgds
Paul
