Re: [JAVA3D] Class cast Exception // Important

As a remedial solution, why don't you set the TriangleFanArray's userData with a ref to the Cone object, i.e ta.setUserdata(someCone), assuming the two are associated with each other. ps. did you ever post your solution to the setcapabilites stuff you claimed to be the last 1% :) --- "Brobbey,Isa

[JAVA3D] DDS textures in java3d ?

I know that they are not supported directly (moved to GPU), but is there any simple loader for them, just unpacking to plain image ? This question was already asked one year ago and there was not utility for that back then. How does it look now ? Artur ===

[JAVA3D] Behavior related

Hi all, I've got some problem using the class behavior to detect clicks on shapes. It seems that when the viewer gets very near to the object, this object can't be clicked. That's really bothering me. If anyone could give me some insights... Thanks Frank Bellegarde _

Re: [JAVA3D] advice and tips on a tree - more questions

I just found another strange problem with my tree texture mapping. When a tree get very close to the viewer, it becomes transparent and the trees behind it actually show through its trunk. Please see the image I attached. Could you please help me to figure out why? Thanks in advance! Lan Lan W

Cone is a primitive object, not a Geometry object. you should get exception for that. At 12:39 PM 1/31/2003 -0500, you wrote: hi all: given the code below: sceneGraphPath = branchGroup.pickAny(pickRay); System.out.println("scene graph="+" "+sceneGraphPath.toString());

In your code, you should do the cast AFTER you verified the class type : that is, instead of : Cone conex=(Cone)geom; if (conex instanceof Cone) { Cone conex=(Cone)someCone; ... you should: if (geom instanceof Cone) { Cone conex=(Cone)geom; ... This is not going

The best way to do EXACTLY what you want is to NOT use TexCoordGeneration, but to add the texture coordinates to the vertex definition in your geometry. Cheers, Florin -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: R. Carassou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 30. Januar 2003 18:00 An: [E

There are several ways to use transparency. 1. The following formats in which you can export from Photoshop support transparencies: GIF, PNG-8 and PNG-24. JPG format DOES NOT SUPPORT TRANSPARENCY. GIF and PNG-8 doesn't use an Alpha channel, so a special colour is marked as being the transparent co

I have used gif, jpg and png. All of them are generated from Photoshop 6.0 using transparent background and with an alpha channel added. The things that I am not sure is when saving the image to the format mentioned above, the alpha channel option is grayed out (deactivated). This may mean that
