In response to popular demand, I've created a tutorial on how to
implement real collision avoidance and terrain following in Java 3D.
The new tutorial details the code to write a generalised collision
detection system for navigation. We also detail how to write a
generalised terrain
following navigation system too. This is designed to be a fairly
detailed
tutorial that is designed for an intermediate level programmer - we
assume that you know how to code in Java 3D and would like to really
build a useful application while avoiding piles of matrix and vector
equations. It also happens to document the system that the Xj3D codebase
uses - which is available from the j3d.org code repository.
The new tutorial can be found at
