Just for comparison, I have the same spec'd machine as Computer 3 at home but with an ATI Rage Fury Pro and it works fine with the DX and OGL versions. Not sure why the Rage IIC would be much different. Does any DirectX program work on computers 3 and 4?
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/02/02 01:08PM >>> Hello I am currently developing an 3D-application which be used by people with different video cards and many of them will not have special 3D-accelerators. I have tested my Java3D-application with some different graphics cards today with varying sucess. I did the test to ensure that the application would work with different hardware setups. The results were a bit disappointing. Results follows: All tests are run with JRE 1.4.1, Java 3D 1.3 for Direct X and Direct X 8.1 and Windows 2000. Both 16-bit and 32-bit color depth are tested where it is possible. The application that is used is the one I am currently developing. Computer 1. PII 300 MHz, 256 MB RAM, RIVA TNT 2 M64 It didn't work at the first try, but after upgrading the video drivers it works. Computer 2. PIII 933 MHz, 256 MB RAM, ATI Mobilty M6 Worked at the first try. Computer 3. PII 400 MHz 64 MB RAM, ATI RAGE IIC Didn't work at all. Upgrading the video drivers didn't whelp. Computer 4. PIII 850 Mhz, 256 MB RAM, Matrox G400 Bug in driver made the scene look weird, upgrading the drivers didn't help. So my result was 2 successes of 4 tested. My development pc runs java 3d just fine (with a Radeon9000 card). Some may suggest running the OpenGL version, but the problem is when you make an installation program, which version should you use? I am a little bit disappointed of the high percentage of failure. Are someone recognizing these kind of problems and how did you do to solve them? I really don't know where the largest problem are, in the hardware driver, in the graphics API (Direct X in this case) or in Java 3D. /Johan =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
