Noticed on j3d.org that the old Sun VRML loader is being resurrected, as j3d-vrml97 (see http://www.j3d.org/utilities/loaders/vrml/j3d-vrml97.html)
However, I can't get it to work - always crashes with: java.lang.InstantiationError: vrml.node.Node at org.jdesktop.j3d.loaders.vrml97.impl.Node.wrap(Node.java:187) at org.jdesktop.j3d.loaders.vrml97.VrmlScene.<init>(VrmlScene.java:80) at org.jdesktop.j3d.loaders.vrml97.VrmlLoader.doLoad(VrmlLoader.java:159) at org.jdesktop.j3d.loaders.vrml97.VrmlLoader.load(VrmlLoader.java:139) [... rest deleted ...] Code is very simple: VrmlLoader f = new VrmlLoader(); Scene s = null; try { s = f.load(filename); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { System.err.println(e); System.exit(1); } I've successfully used the CyberVRML97 and NCSA Portfolio loaders, as well as several of the OBJ and 3DS loaders, so I think the rest of my app is ok. Ultimately what I want is the ability to load a VRML file and have any textures automatically applied. Couldn't tell if this loader could do that or not. Thanks for any help!
