You correct, creating a sign language database is not "lies and unethical conduct" -- that part is a good thing, and some of my animations with Web3d's H-Anim Avatars use Sign Language and or Finger Spelling -- both with Java3d and the Sun VRML Loaders and with the more portable 'pure' Java solutions as you can see in the picture I link to in the original post. http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/sc_java3d_vs_plugin.jpg http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/sc_tanks_and_robots.jpg Complex animation of VRML with Java3d: Works -- NOW -- ------------------------------------------------------ http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/java3d_and_vrml.html Look at the H-Anim archive to see the damage done.

I have phoned and written to Prentice Hall to address the know errors with their published books and they have not responded. It would be nice if someone like Sandy Ressler would address the issue as to whether it is necessary as Justin Couch has suggested to be 'on crack' to animate Web3d's H-Anim Avatars as I have done ( without using Crack ) with Java3d. One of the pictures above includes work by Sandy Ressler: a networked application with real-world objects, and VRML objects -- with Java, another features James Gossling using a Palm PDA to control a robotic LEGO tank : writeless, networked, Java interfacing into the real world, and others include a portable MPEG-4 Java solution, another with Finger Spelling playing with the Java Media Framework, created with Sun's VRML Loaders & Java3d ( without the use of Crack Cocaine ).
