You may look at our new product the WorldShow3D browser at http://www.worldshow3d.com/. If you construct any Java 3D geometry from your data, it's just a piece of cake to let this browser to load the geometry from your local system or Internet and display it on your monitor. As for the user interaction with the geometry, this browser provides a very flexible and robust algorithm to manipulate any shapes. Please try it out and there are more ....

We've gotten a project to enhance the VRML output of VTK. This will make it easier to load VTK generated files into Java3D via a vrml loader like Xj3D(www.xj3d.org). The first pass will be to improve the static generation of VRML files. In a further pass we might provide a direct link between VTK calls and VRML worlds. Our goal is to make writing visualizations of sonar data easier. -- Alan Hudson President: Yumetech, Inc. http://www.yumetech.com/ Web3D Open Source Chair http://www.web3d.org/TaskGroups/source/ =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
