Human Models exported from 3d Studio Max exported as VRML can be animated with Java3d, or Java 1.1 applets on the web.
Here's a BiPed exported from Studio Max that works on the web and with the Sun VRML Loaders ( & more ): http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/shout3d/models/StudioMax_Biped.wrl http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/shout3d/models/H-Anim/asl_H-Anim_x3d.wrl http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/Avatars/nancy.wrl http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/shout3d/models/ VRML Loaders for Java3d from Sun do H-Anim & BiPed Animation ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/games_with_java3d.html http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/java3d_and_vrml.html 3d Studio Max BiPed VRML Animated with Java 1.1 & Java3d -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/H-Anim_Avatars.html Laurent Cathala wrote to Java3d-interest list: > > I'm trying load animated files exported from > 3ds max 4 in vrml format using xj3d loader. > > In many case there are errors parsing the file. > > An idea ? > > Thanks > > Laurent > | http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0202&L=java3d-interest&P=57925 Give us a hint ... It would be more helpful if they would tell you what works and what doesn't work with the 'new' Loaders and have a chart comparing it to the other loaders in terms what it can load, where it can work ( in a browser ? ), etc. It looks like don't want you to know :^( The Sun VRML Loaders work very well ;^) ( see links above for samples & source code ) The Sun Loaders animate Web3d's H-Anim Avatars in stand-alone applications and in a browser, on Windows, Linux, Solaris, SGI, HP-UX, etc. If you send me the file or put it on the web and send or post the link I'll try it on my system and let you know how it does, the Sun Loaders have worked very, very well and they give specific, helpful error messages. -- Paul, Java Developer & Web Animator ----------------------------------------------------- "Imaging the Imagined: Modeling with Math & a Keyboard" =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
