A JOGL rendering pipeline, as described
in issue
229, is now
available on all supported platforms, including Apple Mac
OS X (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 to run
a Java 3D example program from your browser via the
JOGL pipeline. These
examples will use JOGL on Mac OS X and the native OpenGL pipeline on
all
other platforms.
The JOGL renderer is the default on Mac OS X.
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).
NOTE: You must install both Java 3D and JOGL into the JRE, or else you must install neither Java 3D nor JOGL into the JRE. If you install Java 3D into the JRE and put JOGL on your CLASSPATH, the JoglPipeline will fail to find the JOGL classes.
