My, this IS a popular question, isn't
it?
Yes, you can do overlays. No, you
can't really do them practically. You'll see your framerate diminish to
almost nothing. Java does not blt worth didly, yet. But there's
hope!!
Support for full-screen exclusive mode, the
ability to change the display, and multi-buffering using page-flipping are all
features of the Java 2 Standard Edition platform starting in 1.4.
A full-screen exclusive tutorial is on its way, and a URL will be
posted [at www.javagaming.org] when it is
ready.

Subject: [JAVA3D] UI Overlay, etc.
I'm new to Java3d, so excuse me if this has been
answered before. Is there a way to do UI overlays onto the 3d
screen? I'm starting to program a 3d multiplayer game similar to
Everquest and Asheron's Call. Both of these games have the UI over the
3d screen.
Also, I would be interested in seeing any 3d
multiplayer game demos out there. I've seen screen shots of Roboforge,
but that's about it. Please send some links of any demos you know
of.
Thanks,
-Jaime
