You have to do it through the driver configuration panel.
Otherwise under OpenGL version of Java3D, you can use the switch java -Dj3d.sharedstereozbuffer=true MyProgram and the eye separation is control via the View model in Java3D. - Kelvin -------------------- Java 3D Team Sun Microsystems Inc. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
