Re: [gl4java-usergroup] Your opinion/experience/ideas about GL4Java - Mac Port / Demos / Etc.

[p <pe...@gm...>]

hi,

firstly i think gl4java is very important for java. i really appreciate
your work on this project. gl4java maked me loose the last argument to
programm in c :)

i am interested in programming 3d applets for the web. so there is the
problem that gl4java is not installed on every browser. i met this
problem in this way: there is a software renderer 3d api
(www.anfy3d.com/dev) that is java 1.1 and only ~50 kb. so i wrote a
test_mapping_class for gl4java (~15kb). if an applet contains both
classes it can provide 3d content either with software or with opengl. i

think this may be a alternative to 3d plugins like 'metastream' or
others.

if sb. is interested here is in example:
http://www.jzone.de/java/jump/index.htm its a jump 'n run java 1.1
applet with skeletal animations, multiple maps (2) particles , damage
skins and sound (well the last point hasn't anything to do with gl4java
:) ).

ciao
peter
