Re: [JAVA3D] Interface Problem

Hi I'm anything but a pro in Java/J3D, but I think I can help you. It seems to me that your problem is arranging the canvas3d and common GUI components (Buttons, choice boxes, etc) inside your graphical interface and making them communicate with each other (that is, the input fro

I don't think you'll find any built-in physics in Java3D (actually I'm pretty sure of that). Some guys in this list are working in topics related to that (like particles). Some URLs I found really useful to start: - http://www.d6.com/users/checker/dynamics.htm Chris Hecker's home page: a bunch

I'm afraid this will sound really stupid but it worked for me: Have you tried to run it twice? In some boxes the first time I run an J3D app the canvas3D renders a black screen (under OpenGL), the second time, things run just fine. Fabio On Fri, 3 Mar 2000, kwc wrote: >

Based on your main requirement (portability) I'd suggest you to use JBuilder Foundation. It is free (www.inprise.com/jbuilder) and, as far as I know, is the most portable of the full-featured Java IDEs (Windows, Solaris and Linux). There's no JBuilder for the SGI, you could develop in any one of

[JAVA3D] Resizing in screen only

2000-03-15 Thread Fabio Roberto de Miranda
Suppose I have a Java3D program rendering a Canvas3D on a frame that has, say, 200x200. The image (3D) is rendered at 200x200. If I increase this frame's size, say, to 400x400, Java3D will render that for me the scene at 400x400. If I tamper with resizing in physical screen

Yes, you can add a Canvas3D to your GUI in JBuiilder just like you would do with a common swing/awt component. You just have to configure the toolbar to read the Java3D components. I may be mistaken (I don't have JBuilder at the machine I'm writing this now) but I guess you do this by right-clicki

Well, I'll suppose for this answer you have some knowledge of vector algebra, but I'm afraid you don't. These kind of stuff are not the scope of a Java3D list, you could get better feedback from comp.graphics.algorithms or other 3D math/algorithms list. Whenever you have a rotation, you c

This specific error you're facing is caused because your JVM can't find J3D.dll, this file is normally copied into JDK_DIR/jre/bin/. If you copy this file JBuilder's jre/bin, it will work fine. Fabio On Wed, 29 Mar 2000, *CMULLON, C, Christian, Dr wrote: > I am
