Re: [JAVA3D] Is Java3D dead?

[David Yazel]

I have not heard that Java3D is dead.  After 4 years of work I sure hope it isn't.   But if worse comes to worse it would not be horrendous to write a renderer for the Java3D scene graph, especially if you are porting a specific app.  I am convinced scene graphs are the way to build large 3D apps, and the Java3D scene graph is nicely thought out.   I did hear that they would be back off of aggressivly persuing 1.4 of Java3D.  That could be interpreted as "dieing" but I am not sure.   David Yazel http://www.magicosm.net "Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt" ----- Original Message ----- From: William Denniss To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 7:39 PM Subject: [JAVA3D] Is Java3D dead? I recentally subscribed to this list and was surprised to hear that Sun is no longer backing Java3D.  Is it the official word from Sun that they are no longer developing Java3D? I have in the past written small test applications in GL4Java and Java3D and am planning a much larger application (game) written in Java using a 3D API. I found that the Java3D scene graph was quite good to use, and well suited my needs however I don't want to waste time on something that won't be around in the future and be a serious contender in the 3D market which I had hoped Java3D would be. Is anyone currently working on a JOGL scene graph?
