Re: [JAVA3D] can you tell if an object is in the current view?

[Thierry Milard (free)]

Rolf, I am relativeny new to java3D (2 months) [and the 3D]. I find this API very nice and ... surprisingly quite mature.   I am also looking for a way to detect some specific shapes are in the camera "view Frustrum"(I think this is the name....). I am interested in your solution.   Please could you be more "beginer understandable". When you say you are" adding the containing Branchgroup to the view BranchGraph": 1) By the word "Branchgroup"do you mean the BG witch contains the shapes you want to detects ? 2) What exactly do you mean by 'adding to the ViewBranchGraph' ? This code is what you meant ? theviewBranchGraph.addChild(theBranchGrouptodetect ); ?? Thanks Rolf for your time. By the way if you know of a buch of code please don't hesitate to give the url.  Thierry -------Original Message-------   From: Discussion list for Java 3D API Date: mercredi 10 mars 2004 20:33:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] can you tell if an object is in the current view?   Hi Kevin, I'd managed this in adding the containing Branchgroup to the view BranchGraph, so everey transform, which change the vieplatform is also made for the "Corne-Object" I did it for an arrow to show the direction to the desired target. best regards rolf   Kevin wrote:   >All, > >Is there a way to find out if an object is in the current View or not? >I have an object that I would like to stay on the edge of the screen no >matter how I resize the window or move the viewpoint.
