Earth Rotating with Glare, Spacecraft with movable panels --------------------------------------------------------- http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/sc_nasa_java3d_simple.jpg http://www.frontiernet.net/~imaging/terrain_rendering.html ( links to demos: index, earth rotating, spacecraft ) http://fastscript3d.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery.html http://fastscript3d.jpl.nasa.gov/helloworld.html http://fastscript3d.jpl.nasa.gov/hinge.html I did experience the shock of seeing a black screen area -- as you said you did -- until after pressing the "Start applet" button and what seemed to be a inordinately long wait ... and the rotating globe didn't work for me until I downloaded it and ran it locally. Linux & Mozilla are what I use. The program needs refinement and polish. Java3d can be made to work well in a browser, and many interesting, complex interactive VRML animations, with Sound, H-Anim Avatars with Touch Sensors and Gesture Animations are possible and things that I have done. Ignore the unreliable Prentice Hall books and false self-serving FUD from Justin Couch, Alan Hudson, and Aaron Walsh and the others who have tried and failed to animate VRML H-Anim Avatars on the Web in a browser without expensive certificates with Sounds and Gesture Animations triggered from mouse clicks on Touch Sensors. Java3d works reliably, fast, and well.

Bob, why are you intereted in Java3d ? Why did you remove the VRML Java from the NIST site, after spending our tax dollars to add it ? Isn't it a waste of tax dollars to spend time creating those nine web pages and then deleting them, and the links to them ? Why doen't your VRML PROTOs ( eg. the .wrl above ) work with Blaxxun ? What software do you suggest for running your CIS/2 VRML data output for people using Linux ? Bob Lipman wrote to comp.lang.vrml: | | "P.
