Introduction

Introduction

Introduction• Flight simulators and medical-imaging• Developments in high-performance hardware led to developments

in high-performance graphics APIs— beginning in the 1970s with Siggraph’s CORE API, continuing in the 1980s with SGI’s OpenGL and on through today with MS’s Direct3D and Java 3D.

• 3D Graphic• Java 3D: high-level graphic-programming API write once run anywhere simplifying the complex graphics

Introduction• Four major goals of Java 3D APIs -application portability -hardware independence -performance scalibility -ability to produce 3D graphics over a network

Introduction

Introduction• Features of Java 3D for development - Behavior - Fog - Geometry - Light - Sound - Texture

Deployment of your Development Environment

• Requirement: J2SE or J2EE, OpenGL or Direct X• Java 3D API 1.3.1 (current version)• http://java.sun.com/product/java-media/3D• other IDE : eg. Java 3D NetBeans Module 1.0 beta
