I have a small program written in Java that, among other things, displays
simple 3D wireframe objects. Currently, for graphics I only use java.awt.*
classes so the program should run on most computers with a web browser (I
implemented the viewing transforms and double buffering myself). The
program was originally written in C but I rewrote it in Java because I
wanted people to be able to go to a web page and either run the program
directly in the web page or download a single (jar) file and run that.
I would like to add the capability to display the 3D objects as solids in
addition to wireframe. This will require lighting and hidden surface
elimination. I would rather not implement this myself but if I use the
Java3D API then most people will have to install not only Java3D but also
some version of OpenGl or DirectX before they can run my program.
My question is, are there any implementations of a subset of the
Java3D API (ie. lighting and hidden surface elimination) that could be
included as a few class files in an applet or jar file that would not
require OpenGl or DirectX?
Thanks,
Westley
