I'm looking at what options we have for the most efficient texture generation for the Xj3D code. As I have access to code that processes pixels at the lowest level (my own image loading library) the options for producing a highly optimised texture loader is available. The options we have so far are BufferedImage, RenderedImage or maybe even an ImageProducer. Basically what I want to do is take the raw bytes from the stream and pass them directly through to the Java3D rendering engine. If I can avoid creating extra image copies that are thrown away, this would be wonderful. I'm thinking that going via a BufferedImage would not be particularly efficient so looking into the ImageProducer/RenderedImage options. Any thoughts or tips on the best way to do this? -- Justin Couch http://www.vlc.com.au/~justin/ Freelance Java Consultant http://www.yumetech.com/ Author, Java 3D FAQ Maintainer http://www.j3d.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Humanism is dead.
