previous version of Java 3D be
uninstalled before installing this version.</span>
</p>
<h3><a name="System_Requirements"></a>System Requirements</h3>
<p>The 1.3.2 version of the Java 3D API has been released for
Solaris/Sparc, Linux (both x86 and amd64), and Windows.
</p>
<h4><a name="Solaris_Sparc"></a>Solaris/Sparc</h4>
<p>
The 1.3.2 version of Java 3D for Solaris/SPARC requires the
following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.4.2 or later from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Solaris 8 or later</li>
<li>Frame Buffer with OpenGL support (XVR-500, XVR-1000, XVR-600,
XVR-1200, XVR-4000, Expert3D, Elite3D, Creator3D, and PGX)</li>
<li>OpenGL 1.3 for Solaris or later. To find your current version,
use: "<code>pkginfo -l SUNWglrt</code>". OpenGL for Solaris can be
obtained at: <a href="http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/opengl/">http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/opengl/</a></li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="Linux"></a>Linux<br>
</h4>
<p>The 1.3.2 version of Java 3D for Linux (x86 or amd64) requires
the
following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.4.2 or later from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Graphics adapter with driver that supports the GLX
extension: GLX
1.3 or later and OpenGL 1.2 or later<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="Windows"></a>Windows<br>
</h4>
<p>The 1.3.2 version of Java 3D for Windows 2000, and Windows/XP
requires the following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.4.2 or later from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Windows 2000 or Windows/XP</li>
<li>Support for either OpenGL or DirectX as shown below.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">OpenGL version</span><br>
<ul>
The (default) OpenGL renderer of Java 3D requires OpenGL 1.1 or
later,
available from Microsoft or from your graphics card manufacturer.
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">DirectX version</span><br>
<ul>
The (optional) DirectX renderer of Java 3D requires DirectX 8.0 or
later, which is available from Microsoft at: <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/</a>
. The DirectX version of
Java 3D is selected by setting the "<code>j3d.rend</code>" system
property
to "<code>d3d</code>",
for example: "<code>java -Dj3d.rend=d3d ClassName</code>"
</ul>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Changes_Since_1.3.1"></a>Changes Since 1.3.1</h3>
<h4>Miscellaneous</h4>
<ul>
<li>Improved the speed and quality of scene antialiasing (from 2
samples to possibly 8 samples) if pbuffer is supported</li>
<li>Eliminated memory bloat for IndexedGeometryArrays with
USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY flags set</li>
<li>MouseWheelEvent now supported in WakeupOnAWTEvent, MouseBehavior,
ViewPlatformAWTBehavior, and OrbitBehavior</li>
<li>Wavefront ".obj" loader now properly handles transparency
attribute
of the model (but not transparency mapping).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Java 3D Sound</h4>
<p>
Java 3D sound is rendered via the use of a concrete implementation
of
the abstract AudioEngine3DL2 class. In version 1.3.1 we provided two
such implementations that could be used to render 3D sounds:
JavaSoundMixer and HeadspaceMixer. The 1.3.2 release no longer
includes the HeadspaceMixer implementation. Only JavaSoundMixer is
available, and it is disabled by default for users of the
Viewer.createAudioDevice() method (see the j3d.audiodevice property
below).
</p>
<h4>System Properties</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>j3d.rend</code> - Specified the renderer that will be used
for Java 3D.
Recognized values are "ogl" and "d3d" (Windows-only). The default
value is "ogl".</li>
<li><code>j3d.viewFrustumCulling</code> - If this flag is set to
false, the renderer
view frustum culling is turned off. The default value is true. Note:
Java 3D uses a 2 pass view culling. The first pass is a loose
view culling of the spatial tree, and the second pass is a tight view
frustum culling in the renderer before sending the geometry down to
the low level graphics API. The j3d.viewFrustumCulling property is to
control the renderer view frustum culling, and it will not affect the
first pass view culling.</li>
<li><code>j3d.transparentOffScreen</code> - If this flag is set to
true the background
of the off screen canvas is set to transparent. The default value is
false.</li>
<li><code>j3d.usePbuffer</code> - If this flag is set to false
pbuffer will not be use
for off screen rendering. The default value is true.</li>
<li><code>j3d.audiodevice</code> - Takes the name of a concrete
subclass of
com.sun.j3d.audioengines.AudioEngine3DL2 that will be constructed by
Viewer.createAudioDevice(). The default value is null, which means
that audio is disabled by default for applications that call
Viewer.createAudioDevice(). For more information see the <a
href="http://www.javadesktop.org/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=6102">topic
on Java 3D Sound</a> in the Java 3D forum.</li>
<li><code>j3d.forceReleaseView</code> - If this flag is set to true,
the view is
released after the Canvas3D is removed from the view. Can be used if
you have memory leaks after disposing Canvas3D. Note: Setting this
flag as true disables the bug fix 4267395 in View deactivate(). The
default value is false.</li>
</ul>
