Java3D Demos

Here is a collection of Java3D tools and demos that I've developed along the way. All of these demos come with source code and can run as either applets or applications. You will need Java and Java3D to run these. To find out if you've everything necessary to run, please visit the troubleshooting page.

Simple Applets

Each of these applets can also be run as stand-alone applications.

• First - Your first Java3D app.
• Triangle - Drawing a triangle
• TriColor - Adding some color to the triangle
• TriSpin - Animation
• Orbit - Simple mouse movement
• Stars - A starfield for a background
• 2D Text
• 3D Text
• Raster Text
• Frames Per Second
• Texture mapping
• Lights
• Keyboard & Mouse
• Terrain
• Particles
• Sound
• Picking
• Level of Detail

Applications

• Fullscreen - This is an executable jar file that illustrates how to do windowed or fullscreen apps in Java3D. Source is included in the jar file (requires Java 1.5.0+ and Java3D must already be installed)

Projects

• MS3DLoader - A Milkshape3D model loader
• A yet-to-be-named game
