Hi Justin I have been researching vessel/sea simulation since the previous millennium, before Java 3d.We (Naval Architecture Dep. of IST Lisbon), are currently developing a j3d prototypical tool for the VRSHIPS-ROPAX2000 European project. And since December (shame on me) I have an alpha view-frustum package for the use of the community, just waiting for some days of work on it before release.
What happened of this work, may be the original author is still around and send me a link or source code ?
May be also some of you have Java3D links in hydrodynamics ?
Thanks.
(It provides view-frustum prediction and other stuff, so it could be helpful for the community. Could also be adapted for Xith3d.) We also have a promotional project starting in September to be prototyped in Java3d - a sort of Contraptions game, with crazy sail boats. I do expect Sun to: 1) announce soon the new strategy; 2) have it tuned to media rich real-time apps (gaming) and mobile devices; 3) preserving most of the accumulated effort (Sun's and others); 4) improve j3d platform independence and ease of installation (implied by 2). Thank you all for the support, and to the recently leaving personnel from Sun's j3d team. I have to get back to that view-frustum package to pay you back a bit.
