Hello, We've been using Java3D to build Collaborative Virtual Environments for the past 2-3 years. See some of the demos at:
http://www.discover.uottawa.ca/demos/ Within our experience with Java3D, we haven't had any problems with regards to Java3D's rendering performance but we do not use very large data sets. I don't want to write a long email about our experience (i'd be happy to discuss them in private emails) but I can mention two points that may be of concern: a) we have found current Java3d loaders to be quite slow (in loading from a file to Java3D scene) but this is a problem with the loader and not Java3D and also we haven't tested all loaders (such as Xj3Dloader) b) 3d content with lots of textures can sometimes be rendered slowly in Java3D. This is a very vague statement and we haven't had the time to see why this is (we simply got rid of 'unnecessary textures') Mojtaba Hosseini DISCOVER Lab University of Ottawa Dave Murphy wrote: > > Hi folks, > > I’m currently evaluating j3d performance and I would like to learn > about your experiences with the j3d. > I am particularly interested in identifying bottle necks, particularly > in the area of collaborative environments, I/O devices, and > networking. > > Any information, pointers, etc., are most welcome. > > Rgds Dave > > -- > David Murphy > Computer Science Department > University College, Cork > Ireland > > ph: 353-21-4903579 > fax: 353-21-4274390 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
