This file contains important release information for users of the Java 3DTM API, version 1.4.0.
NOTE: We recommend that you uninstall all previous versions of Java 3D before installing this version.
The 1.4.0 version of the Java 3D API has been released for Solaris (both sparc and x86), Linux (both x86 and amd64), and Windows (32-bit).
The 1.4.0 version of Java 3D for Solaris/SPARC requires the following:
pkginfo -l SUNWglrt". OpenGL for Solaris can be
obtained at: http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/opengl/The 1.4.0 version of Java 3D for Solaris/x86 requires the following:
The 1.4.0 version of Java 3D for Linux (x86 or amd64)
requires
the
following:
The 1.4.0 version of Java 3D for Windows 2000, and
Windows/XP (32-bit)
requires the following:
j3d.rend" system
property
to "d3d",
for example:
java -Dj3d.rend=d3d ClassName
Thw following new features have been added to the 1.4 version of the Java 3D API. Please refer to the API documentation, or the JSR-926 change log for more information.
The following system properties were added in Java 3D 1.4.0:
j3d.shadingLanguage – sets the shading language to
use for programmable shaders. Supported values are: "GLSL" or "Cg". The
default value is "GLSL".j3d.simulatedMultiTexture – If this flag is set to
true, simulation of multi-texturing will be done on systems that don't
have sufficient texture units. The default value is false. This does
not work with programmable shading, and will not be supported in 1.5.0.| Issue |
