The Joy of Java 3D by Greg Hopkins Copyright © 2001-2007 Introduction Java 3D is an addition to Java for displaying three-dimensional graphics. Programs written in Java 3D can be run on several different types of computer and over the internet. The Java 3D class library provides a simpler interface than most other graphics libraries, but has enough capabilities to produce good games and animation. Java 3D builds on existing technology such as DirectX and OpenGL so the programs do not run as slowly as you might expect. Also, Java 3D can incorporate objects created by 3D modeling packages like TrueSpace and VRML models. This tutorial is an introduction to Java 3D. Examples lead you through the basic methods for producing 3D images and animation. You do not need to have any knowledge of 3D graphics or Java 3D to learn from this tutorial, but it will help if you have a basic understanding of the Java programming language. Programming in three dimensions can seem complicated because of the amount of jargon and the mathematics involved, this tutorial will keep things as simple as possible.

Installing and Running Java 3D The software you need to use Java 3D is available free from Sun Microsystems at /. Sun often releases new versions so it is better to look at their site than rely on this document to find what you need. You will have to register as a member of Java Developer Connection to download some of the files. At time of writing, the newest version of Java (6.3) is at /javase/downloads/index.jsp. The current version of the Java 3D extension (1.5.1) is at /#Downloads Netscape and Internet Explorer both require you to download plug-ins if you want to use up-to-date versions of Java and Java3D in applets, the plug-in can be found at /products/plugin/. Once you have installed Java and Java 3D you can compile programs
