No, I made my own. 'Construct' is the wrong word. I spend 2 hours on reading the bitmaps in and blowing them out to 3D again :). I roughly looked over the j3d things but soon lost my orientation. What is the name of that class, please? The problem with the j3d is that it needs Java3D 1.3b to compile. (And that the makefiles seem to be strange concerning their line endings. Justin, I sent a mail to you concerning that. Can u confirm? At least with my CVS clients, I receive all makefiles with CR-CR-LF). For even the next Java3D beta isn't out I'm a bit suspicious on using upcoming Java3D releases. > > I setup the IndexedTriangleArray to use my own arrays with the flag > > combination: > > Don't forget J3D un-indexes indexed geometry structures before passing > them to the card.
