Hi, I've used j3d for a few years but had no opengl/3d graphics experience prior to that.
I came across the screensavers at www.voodoolights.com and I was wondering if anyone had thoughts about: ++ what sort of opengl/(or general 3d graphics) features this program uses to create its luminous, "volumetric" type effects( many of screensavers feature spheres of "energy" buzzing around the screen) ++ ideas about have someone might achieve these effects in j3d. (maybe fog nodes with point sources of light - or whatever. And in particular how do you think voodoolights can render so quickly.) In any case, my main desire is to create simple humanoid (maybe stick figure built with cylinders) that glows tranlucently (in a manner similar to the objects in voodoo lights) and does not really have concrete edges. Hope this isn't too wishy-washy too make any sense. by the way, voodoo lights is pretty cool. thanks, nehal [EMAIL PROTECTED] =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
