Start- and endpoint, I assume? How about the diameters? > Which class can I use to draw them? None of the "factory-built" that come along with J3D. You'll have to build your own primitive by using a Sphere() (might do for the "head", I guess) of appropriate diameter and a Cylinder() (which'll make up your "tail") of appropriate diameter and length, put both of them in a TransformGroup() together with the needed Transform3D()s, each and join both in a TransformGroup() which'll serve as your primitives root. Doing so, you might want to extend from "Primitive". The different Appearance()s and Material()s are of no further concern to you then. > Thank you! You're welcome.
