Instructions for Installing +Java 3D^TM 1.3.2

The 1.3.2 version of the Java 3D^TM +API runs on JDK version 1.4.2 and higher. It has been released for +the Solaris/Sparc, Linux (both x86 and amd64), and Windows operating +environments. To install this build, go to the "jre" +directory within the jdk and unzip (or unjar) the zip file. For +example, +if your JDK is installed in /usr/java/j2sdk1.5.0, you +would +install this as follows: +

cd /usr/java/j2sdk1.5.0/jre

+unzip /path-to-extracted-files/j3d-jre-*.zip

+

You may need to be "root" to do this on Solaris or Linux. +

See the release notes for +information about Java 3D 1.3.2 release. +

Java 3D^TM 1.3.2 Release Notes

This file contains important release information for users of the +Java 3D^TM API, version 1.3.2. +

Click here for instructions on +how +to install the developer's release of +Java 3D +version 1.3.2.

NOTE: It is recommended that any +previous version of Java 3D be +uninstalled before installing this version. +

System Requirements

The 1.3.2 version of the Java 3D API has been released for +Solaris/Sparc, Linux (both x86 and amd64), and Windows. +

Solaris/Sparc

+The 1.3.2 version of Java 3D for Solaris/SPARC requires the +following: +

JDK 1.4.2 or later from Sun Microsystems: http://java.sun.com/j2se/
Solaris 8 or later
Frame Buffer with OpenGL support (XVR-500, XVR-1000, XVR-600, +XVR-1200, XVR-4000, Expert3D, Elite3D, Creator3D, and PGX)
OpenGL 1.3 for Solaris or later. To find your current version, +use: "pkginfo -l SUNWglrt". OpenGL for Solaris can be +obtained at: http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/opengl/

Linux
+

The 1.3.2 version of Java 3D for Linux (x86 or amd64) requires +the +following:
+

JDK 1.4.2 or later from Sun Microsystems: http://java.sun.com/j2se/
Graphics adapter with driver that supports the GLX +extension: GLX +1.3 or later and OpenGL 1.2 or later
+

Windows
+

The 1.3.2 version of Java 3D for Windows 2000, and Windows/XP +requires the following:
+

JDK 1.4.2 or later from Sun Microsystems: http://java.sun.com/j2se/
Windows 2000 or Windows/XP
Support for either OpenGL or DirectX as shown below.
+

OpenGL version

+The (default) OpenGL renderer of Java 3D requires OpenGL 1.1 or +later, +available from Microsoft or from your graphics card manufacturer. +

DirectX version

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/

j3d.rend

d3d

java -Dj3d.rend=d3d ClassName

Changes Since 1.3.1

Miscellaneous

Improved the speed and quality of scene antialiasing (from 2 +samples to possibly 8 samples) if pbuffer is supported
Eliminated memory bloat for IndexedGeometryArrays with +USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY flags set
MouseWheelEvent now supported in WakeupOnAWTEvent, MouseBehavior, +ViewPlatformAWTBehavior, and OrbitBehavior
Wavefront ".obj" loader now properly handles transparency +attribute +of the model (but not transparency mapping).

Java 3D Sound

+Java 3D sound is rendered via the use of a concrete implementation +of +the abstract AudioEngine3DL2 class. In version 1.3.1 we provided two +such implementations that could be used to render 3D sounds: +JavaSoundMixer and HeadspaceMixer. The 1.3.2 release no longer +includes the HeadspaceMixer implementation. Only JavaSoundMixer is +available, and it is disabled by default for users of the +Viewer.createAudioDevice() method (see the j3d.audiodevice property +below). +

System Properties

j3d.rend - Specified the renderer that will be used +for Java 3D. +Recognized values are "ogl" and "d3d" (Windows-only). The default +value is "ogl".
j3d.viewFrustumCulling - If this flag is set to +false, the renderer +view frustum culling is turned off. The default value is true. Note: +Java 3D uses a 2 pass view culling. The first pass is a loose +view culling of the spatial tree, and the second pass is a tight view +frustum culling in the renderer before sending the geometry down to +the low level graphics API. The j3d.viewFrustumCulling property is to +control the renderer view frustum culling, and it will not affect the +first pass view culling.
j3d.transparentOffScreen - If this flag is set to +true the background +of the off screen canvas is set to transparent. The default value is +false.
j3d.usePbuffer - If this flag is set to false +pbuffer will not be use +for off screen rendering. The default value is true.
j3d.audiodevice - Takes the name of a concrete +subclass of +com.sun.j3d.audioengines.AudioEngine3DL2 that will be constructed by +Viewer.createAudioDevice(). The default value is null, which means +that audio is disabled by default for applications that call +Viewer.createAudioDevice(). For more information see the topic +on Java 3D Sound in the Java 3D forum.
j3d.forceReleaseView - If this flag is set to true, +the view is +released after the Canvas3D is removed from the view. Can be used if +you have memory leaks after disposing Canvas3D. Note: Setting this +flag as true disables the bug fix 4267395 in View deactivate(). The +default value is false.
