Re: [JAVA3D] Simple lighting example

Ben, I send you a code with an animated sphere under 3 different lights (ambient, point, directional). You can go in the code and switch each light on and off if you want. You should read j3d tutorials and chapter 6 about lights anyway.. JR Ben Logan wrote: Hello, I wonder if someone could

Re: [JAVA3D] Sharp background images impossible?

What about using a sphere for the general background and adding white points to the background geometry for the starfield. I don't really understand how background nodes work- does anyone know if this would be possible? -ben -Original Message- From: Discussion list for Java 3D API [mail

Re: [JAVA3D] Sharp background images impossible?

A Box is a nice idea too. To test if there is a visible distortion of the textures near the edges I tried it - and it seems not to work with J3D 1.2.1. Spheres work well, Cylinders too but the Box-primitive doesn't. Nothing appears in the background (therefore I'm not sure if the Box or the texture

[JAVA3D] j3d.org cvs problem

I'm trying to log in on the server with winCVS...but whenever i try to log in, a password box pops up, and as I've understood, there isn't a password required.

[JAVA3D] QuadArray and generating normals (for lighting)

Hi Could somebody take a quick look at the code below and explain how I generate the normals - so that I can light these walls that im creating. I used to generate geomtery differently and then use a normal generator...but I don't know how to apply that to a quad array etc Any help would be appreci

Yes, you certainly can put points in the background as stars (I've done it in Pernica and it looks good). - John Wright Starfire Research Ben Moxon wrote: > > What about using a sphere for the general background and adding white points to the > background geometry for the starfield. I don't real

[JAVA3D] generating a MPEG from Java 3D

Presumably, it is possible to generate a MPEG movie (or any other format eg. avi, quick time etc) from a long series of Java 3D frames? Does anyone have any experience of doing so? How successful was it? Did you capture the sound aswell. Could you please give any insights into how best to do this.

Re: [JAVA3D] generating a MPEG from Java 3D

Hi try google and the list archives, this topic comes up time and again, the easy answer is, it sux, if you cache the frames to memory you run out damn quickly, if you sync them right away to disk, you end up with disk IO for *every* frame, which isn't good either. I have tried a few programs tha

Re: [JAVA3D] generating a MPEG from Java 3D

Hi, I did a lot of work on this a while back and tried several options including caching frames for later processing, streaming frames to JMF for encoding and dumping jpegs. The conclusion I came to was that it was fastest and simplest to dump out jpegs for each frame and then use an external tool

[JAVA3D] Sounds are replayed on ViewingPlatform switch, why?

Hey guys,I've got many cameras and I made a behavior that intercepts a key on the keyboard to change the ViewingPlatform of the Viewer. It works great. I also have many PointSounds in my Virtual Universe. Here's what I noticed, all the sounds sound 3D and great (the ones I animated even fade
