A JOGL rendering pipeline, as described
in issue
229, is now
available on all supported platforms, including Apple Mac
OSX (x86 or PPC). The easiest way to run Java 3D applications
using the JOGL
pipeline is via Java Webstart from your browser (with no setup
required).
Click here and go
to the "Early access
test program" section at bottom of the
page to run a Java 3D example program from your browser via the
JOGL pipeline. These
examples will use JOGL on Mac OSX and the native OpenGL pipeline on all
other platforms.
The JOGL renderer is the default on Mac OSX.
You can select the JOGL renderer on other platforms by setting the "j3d.rend"
system
property
to "jogl",
for example:
java -Dj3d.rend=jogl ClassName
You will need to download
JOGL
and install it into the JRE along with the Java 3D jar files (or
include it in your PATH/CLASSPATH).
