The old & reliable VRML Loaders (c.1999) from Sun support
- Animation
- PROTOs
- Sensors
- H-Anim Avatars
VRML-97 scenes can be animated with Java3d with the
VRML Loaders for Java, VRML 1.0 should be converted:

Aaron Walsh gets it wrong ~~ AGAIN ~~
The "Core Web3d" book from Prentice Hall
appears to incorrectly state that the VRML Loaders
developed at Sun and donated to Web3d fail:
| The "Human.wrl" file uses the naming convention
| of the H-Anim standard. However, it does _NOT_
| use PROTOs from that specification.
|
| This is because of some limitations in the VRML-97
| class library which causes the joint centers to be in the
| wrong loncation.
|
| Future versions of the class libarary may correct this
| problem ...
|
from the Prentice Hall book "Core Web3d" ( p.658 )
You can animate Web3d's H-Anim Avatars with Java3d:

| About the CD-ROM
|
| If you've been feverishly looking for the CD-ROM
| that came with this book you'll be relieved to find that no,
| you're not going mad:
|
| A CD-ROM is not included with Core Web3D.
|
| Instead, the source code listings, hyperlinks, and examples
| found in this book are available online, free of charge,
| through the __ Core Web3D web __ site at
|
| http://www.CoreWeb3D.com/.
|
| This site was created for you, the Core Web3D reader, and
|
| is updated regularly as important Web3D innovations occur
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| (such as the emergence of X3D from the development process,
| or new versions of the Java 3D API are released by Sun, for example).
|
| Here you'll also find links to a wide variety of Web3D resources,
| including an online discussion group where you can share your
| thoughts, comments, and suggestions about Core Web3D with
| your fellow readers.

| Subject: Loading VRML V1.0
|
| ... [ Can I ] load VRML V1.0 format data into Java 3D.
|
| The xj3d loader will cope with V2.0 but seems to feel that
| V1.0 is just too old.
|
| Maybe there is a utility that would convert v1.0 to 2.0 ?
|
| Thanks for any suggestions

Java3d and the Web3d VRML Loaders from Sun work.
Java3d is great, it runs great, it's ready to go.
Why is Prentice Hall & Aaron Walsh claiming it doesn't work?
Java3d works, if you know what you're doing.
Aaaron Walsh & Justin Couch seem to know the old
Sun/Web3d VRML Loaders can be used to animate
H-Anim Avatars with Java3d ... why do Walsh & Couch
say it can't ... or ' what ... crack are you on ' and both
insult & harm all of us doing Java3d & animation with H-Anim?
False statements hurt us and should not be acceptable, that
they are accepted by large universities, some publishers,
and the National Science Foundation is a shame, and a travesty.
We should not accept that, and I will not.
