Re: [JAVA3D] About Java3D Direct3D stability on different hardware

I have found that the OpenGL versions are far more reliable than the DirectX ones, and more likely to run on different systems.   -ben -----Original Message----- From: Vladimir Vernikovski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 August 2003 12:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JAVA3D] About Java3D Direct3D stability on different hardware Hi, ALL !   Now I finished rather serious Java3D project and begin testing. I need to make this application stable (no necessarily good perfomance on old hardware) on a different system hardware configuration decause of it positioning as Java Web Start for on a large scale using. There are sytem requirements is: Windows98/2000/XP, DirectX8.0+. I do not call upon to perfom test this application for me, read below, but if somebody are interested: http://jproof-test.nsys.by/NewHouse/WebStart/   Because of Java Web Start some of my friends and partners ran this application already, but obtained results disturb me. This pure Java3D application (complex application whith different effects) refuses to start on a some popular video cards, which successfully exploit on 3D-games by its owners (ATI Xpert98, Intel Extreme, Matrox G450, Matrox G550, S3 Savage4). There are different errors on different cards: native exceptions, no image etc. Is it mean that I use some 3D-functions that not supported by this cards or drivers is not very good? There are NVidia (old and new) cards work good mostly. I checked  trouble VC with programs such as  http://www.molybdenium.de/devicecaps/e_index.html but how I can determine what nonsupported function is using?!! This program creates list of Direct3D caps (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">) and I can not always to determine what my Java3D function does.   I think so not bad for us to Java3D team make some document with Java3D functions list and corresponding list of Direct3D functions. It is complicated to exclude nonstable functions from application even if you have a lot off VC caps tables...   I want to know your opinion about this problem. Thanks.   Vladimir A.
