HI Artur, Your observations are correct. The codebase was orginally developed as a proof of concept to test features of Java3D that would be relevant to implementing ROAM (and similar) algorithms, as such it is not feature complete.
The code structure should allow these features to be added without any problems. Although adding texture support in a useful way will require some work in texture paging strategies etc. Rgds Paul ---------------------------------------------------------- Paul Byrne Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems Phone : (650) 786 9926 Visualization Software Group Fax : (650) 786 5852 ---------------------------------------------------------- >Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020202 >X-Accept-Language: en-us >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 18:24:04 +0100 >From: Artur Biesiadowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] ROAM and GPU Usage (off-topic) >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Justin Couch wrote: > >> Yup.
