-============
-INSTALLATION
-============
-
-You must have permission to write files in your Java(TM) Runtime
-Environment and/or SDK directories. If you do not have this
-permission, the installer will run to completion but Java 3D(TM)
-will not be installed. Make sure you are running Java(TM) from
-your local machine and that you are the same user who installed
-Java.
-#if defined(SOLARIS)
-To install Java 3D(TM), execute the appropriate self-extracting
-shell script.
-
- Runtime only: java3d-1_3_1-solaris-sparc-rt.bin

- 64 bit Runtime: java3d-1_3_1-solaris-sparcv9.bin
-
-For the two runtime versions, execute the script in the destination
-jre directories. Note: The 64 bit runtime only contains the nessesary
-64 bit components. Install it in the jre directory after installing the
-regular runtime files.
-
-For the runtime and sdk bundle, execute the script in the destination
-sdk directory.
-
-The Java 3D(TM) SDK includes several demo programs that can
-verify correct installation. Assuming your Java 2 SDK is installed
-at /usr/j2se, try the following:
-
- cd /usr/j2se/demo/java3d/HelloUniverse
- java HelloUniverse
-
- Note: Many more demos are available under the demo/java3d/
- directory. Some of the demos require a maximum memory
- pool larger than the default in java. To increase the
- maximum memory pool to 64 megabytes, add the following
- command line options to java or appletviewer:
- java: -mx64m
- appletviewer: -J-mx64m
-
-Make sure you have the SUNWi1of package (optional fonts) installed by
-running `pkginfo SUNWi1of`. If not present, you may see error messages
-like this:
-
- Font specified in font.properties not found
- [-b&h-lucida sans typewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-*-%d-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1]

-===============
-SHARED CONTEXTS
-===============
-
-This version of Java 3D is able to use shared contexts in OpenGL for Display
-Lists and Texture Objects. For single canvas applications, there will be no
-change in behavior. For multiple canvas applications, memory requirements
-will decrease by using this property. By default, this property is set
-to false. To enable the use of shared contexts set the j3d.sharedctx property
-to true, for example:
-
- java -Dj3d.sharedctx=true MyProgram
-
-#endif
-#if defined(WIN32OGL)
-Some video cards, such as the Riva TNT & TNT2, have problems using shared
-contexts. If you are experiencing no rendering, crashes, or no textures
-being displayed when shared contexts are enabled, this is the most likely
-problem.
-
-=================
-Background Images
-=================
-
-The background image can be rendered in two modes: raster and texture. In windows,
-the default mode is texture and in Solaris, the default one is raster.
-The property j3d.backgroundtexture can be used to control which mode to use.
-If you are experiencing slow rendering of background images,
-you can change j3d.backgroundtexture property. For example, to enable
-texture mode if your have hardware support for texture rendering,
-
- java -Dj3d.backgroundtexture=true MyProgram
-#endif
-
-======================
-Compiled Vertex Array
-======================
-
-Compiled Vertex Array extension is used in IndexedGeometryArray
-when it's USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY flag is set and it is not in display list mode.
-You may disable the use of this extension by setting the new property,
-j3d.compliedVertexArray, to false.
-
-Compiled Vertex Array extension is used extensively, on SUN XVR-4000, for
-all GeometryArray type when display list mode is not used.
-You may disable the use of this extension by setting the new property,
-j3d.compliedVertexArray, to false.
-
-
-===========================
-Multisampling Antialiasing
-===========================
-
-By default, full scene antialiasing is disabled if a
-multisampling pixel format (or visual) is chosen.
-To honor a display drivers multisample antialiasing
-setting (e.g. force scene antialiasing), set the
-implicitAntialiasing property to true.
-This causes Java3D to ignore its own scene antialias
-settings, letting the driver implicitly implement the
-feature.
-
- java -Dj3d.implicitAntialiasing=true MyProgram
-
-================================
-RUNNING JAVA 3D(TM) IN A BROWSER
-================================
-#if defined(WIN32OGL) || defined(WIN32D3D)
-You can run Java 3D(TM) programs in your browser. Java 2(TM)
-from Sun includes the Java Plug-In (JPI) to upgrade the Java(TM)
-in the browser to Java 2(TM). To verify proper installation,
-point your browser to file:/j2sdk1.4.1/demo/java3d/index.html
-
-If you are getting permission exceptions while running the Java 3D
-demo programs in your browser, it may be because of bug 4416056.
-
-First, upgrade your Java SDK to the latest release. The bug may
-have been fixed by the time you read this.
-
-To work around the problem, the path to your JRE must not
-contain spaces. By default, it does ("c:\Program Files\JavaSoft\. . .").
-The Java SDK installer automatically installs the JRE in
-c:\Program Files\JavaSoft, so you must run the installers in
-this order:
- Java SDK installer
- Java JRE installer (choose a directory with no spaces)
- Java 3D SDK installer (will default to the correct directories)
-
-NOTE: Many Java 3D(TM) programs will require a larger heap size
-than the default 16M in the JPI. Run the Java Plug-In Control
-Panel from Start/Programs (JPI 1.2.2) or Start/Settings/Control
-Panel (JPI 1.3) and in "Java Run Time Parameters" put "mx64m"
-for 64M of heap memory.
-#elif defined(SOLARIS)
-Java 3D programs can be run in Netscape Communicator on Solaris
-with the Java(TM) Plug-IN (JPI) installed:
-
- Solaris 8 includes Netscape and the JPI.
-
- For Solaris 7 users, Netscape Communicator may be downloaded
- for free from http://www.sun.com/solaris/netscape. Patches
- may be required (see the website for details).
-
- Netscape Communicator 6.0 automatically includes the JPI.
-
- Java 1.3 and higher include the JPI. The Control Panel
- will be at $JAVAHOME/jre/ControlPanel.html.
-
- If you are using Solaris 7, Java 1.2.2, and Netscape 4.51, 4.7,
- or 4.74, you need to download and install the JPI from
- http://www.sun.com/solaris/netscape/jpis. NOTE: requires
- membership to the JDC. More patches may be required
- (see the website for details). If you install it in
- the default location (/opt/NSCPcom) the control panel
- will be at file:/opt/NSCPcom/j2pi/ControlPanel.html.
-
-You need to set the NPX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable
-to the directory containing the JPI. For example, you you
-are using the JPI from Java 1.4.1 installed in /usr/j2se,
-do 'setenv NPX_PLUGIN_PATH /usr/j2se/jre/plugin/sparc'
-before starting Netscape. The default is /opt/NSCPcom.
-
-JDK 1.3.1 and higher have different plugin directories for
-Netscape 4.x vs. 6.0. For Netscape 4.x you need:
- 'setenv NPX_PLUGIN_PATH /usr/j2se/jre/plugin/sparc/ns4'
-while for 6.0:
- 'setenv NPX_PLUGIN_PATH /usr/j2se/jre/plugin/sparc/ns600'
-
-There is a bug in the Solaris JPI 1.2.2 that keeps it
-from finding Java extensions in the lib/ext/ directory
-where they are kept. If you are not using JPI 1.3, you need to
-copy the four .jar files from the lib/ext/ directory to the
-lib/ directory as follows:
-
- cd $SDKHOME/jre/lib/ext
- cp j3daudio.jar ..
- cp j3dcore.jar ..
- cp j3dutils.jar ..
- cp vecmath.jar ..
-
-To verify proper installation, point your browser to
-file:///usr/j2se/demo/java3d/index.html
-
-If it seems like Java 3D isn't installed, make sure the JPI
-is using the JVM you've upgraded with Java 3D(TM). Run the
-JPI Control Panel and click on the "Advanced" tab to change
-the JVM associated with the JPI. Under "Java Run Time
-Environment" choose "Other..." and Enter the path to your
-JVM in the 'Path:' box (for example,
-/usr/j2se/jre). Press "Apply." (Note:
-choose the directory above the 'bin' directory.)
-
-NOTE: Many Java 3D(TM) programs will require a larger heap size
-than the default 16M in the JPI. In the Control Panel
-"Java Run Time Parameters" put "mx64m" for 64M of heap memory.
-#endif
-To create a web page with Java 3D, you need to use special HTML
-code to force the browser to use the JPI VM. Refer to the
-following URL for information on using Java Plug-In "HTML
-Converter" and running applets using Java Plug-in:

-====================================================
-DISTRIBUTING Java 3D(TM) WITH YOUR JAVA(TM) PROGRAMS
-====================================================
-
-Sun Microsystems allows vendors to distribute the Java 3D(TM) Runtime
-environment with their Java programs, provided they follow the terms
-of the Java 3D(TM) Binary Code License and Supplemental License Terms
-agreement.
-
-This document uses the term "vendors" to refer to licensees,
-developers, and independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and
-distribute Java 3D(TM) with their Java programs.
-
-REQUIRED vs. OPTIONAL FILES
----------------------------
-Vendors must follow the terms of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License
-agreement, which includes these terms:
-
- - Don't arbitrarily subset Java 3D(TM). You may, however, omit those
- files that have been designated below as "optional".
-
- - Include in your product's license the provisions called out
- in the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License.
-
-BUNDLING Java 3D(TM)
---------------------
-Java 3D(TM) comes with its own installer that makes it suitable for
-downloading by end users. Java(TM) application developers have the
-option of not bundling Java 3D(TM) with their software. Instead,
-they can direct end-users to download and install the Java 3D(TM)
-software themselves.
-
-Required Files
---------------
-#if defined(SOLARIS)

-
-========================
-CHANGES SINCE 1.3
-========================
-
-============
-NEW FEATURES
-============
-
- A set of new methods is added to the Viewer, a utility class, to
- support dynamic video resize, specificially targeted for SUN
- framebuffer : XVR-4000.
- Dynamic video resize is a new feature in Java 3D 1.3.1.
- This feature provides a means for doing swap synchronous resizing
- of the area that is to be magnified (or passed through) to the
- output video resolution. This functionality allows an application
- to draw into a smaller viewport in the framebuffer in order to reduce
- the time spent doing pixel fill. The reduced size viewport is then
- magnified up to the video output resolution using the SUN_video_resize
- extension. This extension is only implemented in XVR-4000 and later
- hardware with back end video out resizing capability.
-
-
-
-=======================
-Constructing a Canvas3D
-=======================
-
-Many Java 3D programs pass null to the Canvas3D constructor. By doing
-this, Java 3D will select a default GraphicsConfiguration that is
-appropriate for Java 3D. However, this is a bad practice, and can lead
-to errors when applications try to run in alternate environments, such as
-stereo viewing. Java 3D will now print out a warning if the Canvas3D
-constructor is passed in a null argument for the GraphicsConfiguration.
-
-====================================
-Multipass Texture support limitation
-====================================
-If an application has setup more texture unit states than the graphics
-hardware can support, COMBINE mode will not be supported and Java 3D will
-fallback to the REPLACE mode.
-
-=========
-Utilities
-=========
-
-This release includes utilities for Java 3D. These utilities are still
-being defined and under development. Much of the source for these utilities
-is also provided. The API for these utilities may change in future releases.
-
-The following utilities are provided in this release:
-
- - Some predefined Mouse based behaviors
- - Picking utilities including predefined picking behaviors
- - Geometry creation classes for Box, Cone, Cylinder, and Sphere
- - A Text2D utility
- - Universe Builders - SimpleUniverse and ConfiguredUniverse
- - An Image Loading utility
- - A Normal Generator utility
- - A Polygon Triangulator utility
- - Triangle stripifier
- - Geometry compression utilities
- - Spline-based path interpolators
- - Wavefront .obj loader
- - Lightwave 3D File Loader
- - A scenegraph io utility
- - A high resolution interval timer
-
-===================================
-Enabling Stereo with SimpleUniverse
-===================================
-
-The SimpleUniverse utility does not, by default, request a
-GraphicsConfiguration that is capable of Stereo rendering. To enable this,
-you need to set a property when running your application. Here is an
-example.
-
-java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED MyProgram
-
-Some framebuffers only have one Z buffer and share this between the left
-and right eyes. If you are experiencing problems using stereo try the
-following property:
-
-java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED -Dj3d.sharedstereozbuffer=true MyProgram
-
-#if defined(SOLARIS)
-=========================================================
-Support for disabling X11 Xinerama mode in Solaris OpenGL
-=========================================================
-
-Solaris OpenGL is well optimized in general for single-threaded applications
-running in the Xinerama virtual screen environment, but there are two
-situations in which significant degradations in graphics performance may be
-experienced by multi-threaded OpenGL clients such as Java 3D applications.
-
-The first is when using GeometryByReference, which is implemented through the
-use of OpenGL vertex arrays. This is essentially treated as immediate mode
-data by Solaris OpenGL, which in multi-threaded mode incurs the expense of
-copying data for multiple graphics pipelines even when a single window on a
-single screen is being used.
-
-The second is for applications using multiple Canvas3D objects. The X11
-Xinerama extension internally creates separate graphics resources on each
-physical screen for each window created on the virtual screen. This causes
-significant overhead for multi-threaded Solaris OpenGL clients.
-
-Java 3D provides a new property in this release, j3d.disableXinerama, which
-when set to true will disable the use of Xinerama features by Solaris OpenGL.
-This increases performance in the two situations up to 75%, equivalent to that
-of running in a non-Xinerama environment.
-
-The drawback of setting this property is that when moving a Canvas3D from one
-physical screen to another the graphics rendering will be clipped to the
-physical limits of the original screen on which it was created. The property
-is primarily intended to benefit fullscreen applications using multiple
-physical screens or fullscreen applications using GeometryByReference. To use
-it, specify the property value on the command line:
-
- java -Dj3d.disableXinerama=true <args> <application class name> <args>
-
-Disabling Xinerama requires both JDK 1.4 or later and Solaris OpenGL 1.2.2 or
-later. Solaris 7 and 8 must be upgraded to the patch level required by JDK
-1.4.

-=====================================================
-Information on the Direct3D Implementation of Java 3D
-=====================================================
-
- Unsupported Features
- --------------------
- The following features are currently unsupported in the Direct3D
- implementation of Java 3D:
- Line width
- Line antialiasing
- Point antialiasing
- PolygonAttributes backFaceNormalFlip
- RenderingAttributes ROP_XOR
- Stereo
-
- Texture features not support:
- Texture color table
- Base/Maximum Level
- Max/Minimum LOD
- LOD offset
- Detail Texture
- Sharpen Texture Function
- Filter4 Function
- Boundary width
- Boundary mode CLAMP_TO_EDGE & CLAMP_TO_BOUNDARY
- (will fall back to CLAMP)
- Texture blend color when multiple pass is used
- to simulate multiTexture.
-
- Limited Support
- ---------------
- FullScreen antialiasing is supported only if the device returns
- D3DPRASTERCAPS_ANTIALIASSORTINDEPENDENT in its raster capabilities
- list. (OpenGL supports fullscreen antialiasing if an accumulation
- buffer exists.)
-
- TransparencyAttributes.TransparencyMode values FASTEST, NICEST and
- SCREEN_DOOR are the same as BLENDED under D3D.
-
- DepthComponent in certain display mode when stencil buffer
- is selected (use for DecalGroup) since depth Buffer Component
- Read/write can't coexist with Stencil buffer in DirectX8.0.
-
- OffScreen rendering with width/height > current desktop size
-
- Texture coordinates outside the range [0,1] when boundaryModeS
- and boundaryModeT are set to CLAMP will not use the Texture Boundary'
- color unless BASE_LEVEL_LINEAR filtering is turned on.
-
- If the driver did not expose D3DPTADDRESSCAPS_BORDER capability bit
- (viathe directX SDK utility Caps Viewer). Then it didn't support
- Texture Border color mode. Default color as in Clamp mode will be
- used in this case. Most driver currently available need to
- workaround using reference mode (-Dj3d.d3dDevice=Reference).
-
- if the driver did not expose D3DPMISCCAPS_LINEPATTERNREP capability
- bit then it didn't support line patterns. A solid line will be shown
- in this case. Most driver currently available need to workaround
- using reference mode.
-
- Only negative polygon offsets are supported. The limit of this offset
- corresponds to the depth of the z-buffer.
-
- Float anisotripic filter degree did not support. They will round off
- to integer value and pass down to the DirectX library.
-
- Texture environment combiner :
-
- COMBINE_REPLACE - Support if driver expose TextureOpCaps
- D3DTOP_SELECTARG1. Only combine scale 1 is support.
- COMBINE_MODULATE - Support if driver expose TextureOpCaps D3DTOP_MODULATE,
- D3DTOP_MODULATE2X, D3DTOP_MODULATE4X for scale 1, 2 & 4
- respectively.
- COMBINE_ADD - Support if driver expose TextureOpCaps D3DTOP_ADD,
- only combine scale 1 is support
- COMBINE_ADD_SIGNED - Support if driver expose TextureOpCaps D3DTOP_ADDSIGNED,
- D3DTOP_ADDSIGNED2X for scale 1 & 2 respectively. Combine
- scale 4 will fall back to 2.
- COMBINE_SUBTRACT - Support if driver expose TextureOpCaps D3DTOP_SUBTRACT.
- Only combine scale 1 is support.
- COMBINE_INTERPOLATE - Support if driver expose TextureOpCaps D3DTOP_LERP.
- Only combine scale 1 is support.
- COMBINE_DOT3 - Support if driver expose TextureOpCaps
- D3DTOP_DOTPRODUCT3 Only combine scale 1 is support.
-
- Rendering Different between OGL & D3D
- --------------------------------------
- - SpotLight formula is different, OGL will normally have a bigger bright spot.
-
- - TexCoordGeneration Sphere Map formula is different, OGL will normally
- has texture map that zoom closer than D3D.
-
- - Specular hightlight in Texture mapping mode may different. If OGL driver
- support separate specular color, then resulting specular highlight in
- texture are the same. Otherwise D3D verson will have a brighter and
- more obviously specular highlight compare with OGL.
-
-
- Fullscreen Support
- ------------------------
- The Direct3D implementation of Java 3D can be run in fullscreen mode.
- To start an application in fullscreen mode, use the property j3d.fullscreen.
- The values for j3d.fullscreen are:
- REQUIRED - A fullscreen canvas is required. If not available, do not
- start up the application.
- PREFERRED - A fullscreen canvas is desired for this invocation of the
- Java 3D application. If a fullscreen canvas cannot be
- created, a windowed canvas is acceptable.
- UNNECESSARY - States that a fullscreen canvas is not necessary for this
- application. Create a windowed application (this is the
- same behavior as not setting this property).
-
- Example:
- java -Dj3d.fullscreen=REQUIRED HelloUniverse
-
- Further, an application can be toggled between fullscreen and windowed mode
- by use of the <Alt><Enter> keyboard combination.
-
- When using JDK1.4 fullscreen API with Java3D DirectX version, it is
- necessary to set the following property :
-
- -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
-
- Direct3D Driver Selection
- -------------------------
-
- When there is more then one device associated with a
- monitor, by default, Java 3D uses the first driver found
- on a given display. This order can be found by
- using the -Dj3d.debug=true property during Java startup.
-
- In order to use a 3D only graphics card such as Voodoo1/2
- A new property has been added
-
- -Dj3d.d3ddriver=idx
-
- where idx is the driver order number (starting with 1) found
- using the debug property above. This will force Java 3D to use
- the driver specified by the user (this may fail if the driver is
- not compatible with the display). For a typical setup with a 3D
- only card attached to a single monitor system, use idx=2. This
- will automatically toggle to fullscreen hardware acceleration mode.
-
-
- Direct3D Device Selection
- -------------------------
- In order to aid in development and debugging, Java 3D has added a property
- to allow the D3DDevice to use for rendering to be selected. The property,
- j3d.d3ddevice can have the following values:
- tnlhardware - select a device that supports transform and lighting in
- hardware, if present. If no such device is present,
- a dialog box is displayed to alert the user and the
- application will exit.
- hardware - select a Direct3D device that performs hardware
- rasterization, if present. If no such device is present,
- a dialog box is displayed to alert the user and the
- application will exit.
- reference - use the Direct3D reference pipeline (only available if
- the Direct3D SDK is installed).
-
- By default Java 3D first tries to select a TnLhardaware device, if that fails
- a Hardware device, if that also fails then finally Java 3D selects an
- Emulation device.
-
-
- Ignored Java 3D Properties
- --------------------------
- The following Java 3D properties are ignored by the Direct3D implementation:
- j3d.sharedctx
- j3d.stereo
- j3d.sharedstereozbuffer
- j3d.g2ddrawpixel
- j3d.usecombiners
- j3d.disableSeparateSpecular
- j3d.backgroundtexture
- j3d.disableXinerama

-===================================================
-Information on Java 3D Audio Device Implementations
-===================================================
-
-Java 3D sound is rendered via the use of a specific implementation
-of the AudioDevice3D interface. This release includes two AudioDevice3DL2
-implementations: HeadspaceMixer and JavaSoundMixer. Both of these
-implementations are included in the j3daudio.jar.
-
-Please read README.release in program examples Sound directory for details
-regarding the feature and format limitations of each of these implementations
-and for examples of these use.
-
-=============================================
-HeadspaceMixer AudioDevice3DL2 Implememtation
-=============================================
-
- The HeadspaceMixer implementation is part of the Sun Java 3D
- com.sun.j3d.audioengines.headspace package. This implementation
- uses a version of the Headspace Audio Engine licensed from Beatnik
- which does all rendering in software and pipes the stereo audio image
- to the platform's audio device.
-
- The implemention that was called JavaSoundMixer in previous Sun
- releases of Java 3D has been renamed to HeadspaceMixer.
- It was renamed in anticipation of the release of a new AudioDevice
- implementation that uses the JavaSound API which will be called
- JavaSoundMixer (described below).
-
- The HeadspaceMixer audio device will be created and initialized when the
- utility SimpleUniverse.Viewer.createAudioDevice() method is called.
- If your application uses this utility, no change will be required to
- use the recommended HeadspaceMixer implementation.
-
- If your application explicitly used the older JavaSoundMixer audio device
- implemention from the package com.sun.j3d.audioengines.javasound, you should
- change the reference to JavaSoundMixer, at least for this release,
- to HeadspaceMixer:
-
- import com.sun.j3d.audioengines.headspace.HeadspaceMixer;
- :
- HeadspaceMixer mixer = new HeadspaceMixer(physicalEnvironment);
-
- Most of the Java 3D Audio features have been implemented but there are
- a few exceptions. Additionally, some Java 3D Audio features are only
- only partially implemented. Please read the README.release document in
- programs/examples/Sound for more information.
-
- Note that the HeadspaceMixer is not supported in the 64 bit Solaris
- version of Java 3D.
-
-=============================================
-JavaSoundMixer AudioDevice3DL2 Implememtation
-=============================================
-
- The JavaSoundMixer implementation is part of the Sun Java 3D
- com.sun.j3d.audioengines.javasound package. This implementation uses
- the Java Sound API. All low-level access to the platforms audio device
- are dependent on the Java Sound mixer implementation(s) installed on
- the machine you're running on.
-
- The JavaSoundMixer Java 3D audio device implementation uses Java Sound
- SourceDataLine streams for non-cached data and Java Sound Clips for
- cached data. Support for specific sound cards, the exact input formats
- that can be passed as data to Java 3D MediaContainers, and which feature
- are rendered in software verses accelleration hardware is dependent on
- the Java Sound implementation installed on your machine.
- There is guarenteed to be at least one Java Sound mixer implementation
- available with all J2SE releases (such as Sun's JDK 1.3 and above).
- Please read the README.release document in programs/examples/Sound.
