</p>
<h3><a name="System_Requirements"></a>System Requirements</h3>
<p>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).
</p>
<h4><a name="Solaris_Sparc"></a>Solaris/Sparc</h4>
<p>
The 1.4.0 version of Java 3D for Solaris/SPARC requires the
following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.4.2 or later (1.5.0 is recommended) from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Solaris 9 or later</li>
<li>Frame Buffer with OpenGL support (e.g., XVR-1200)</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="Solaris_x86"></a>Solaris/x86</h4>
<p>
The 1.4.0 version of Java 3D for Solaris/x86 requires the
following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Solaris 10 or later</li>
<li>NVIDIA Frame Buffer with OpenGL 1.3 or later<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="Linux"></a>Linux<br>
</h4>
<p>The 1.4.0 version of Java 3D for Linux (x86 or amd64)
requires
the
following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.4.2 or later (1.5.0 is recommended) 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 1.4.0 version of Java 3D for Windows 2000, and
Windows/XP (32-bit)
requires the following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.4.2 or later (1.5.0 is recommended) 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 1.2 or
later,
available 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 9.0 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:
<ul>
<code>java -Dj3d.rend=d3d ClassName</code>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<h3><a name="Changes_Since_1.3.2"></a>Changes Since 1.3.2</h3>
<h4>New Features</h4>
<p>Thw following new features have been added to the 1.4 version of the
Java 3D API. Please refer to the <a
href="http://download.java.net/media/java3d/javadoc/1.4.0/index.html">API
documentation</a>, or the <a href="http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=926">JSR-926
change</a> log for more information.</p>
<ul>
<li>Programmable shader support</li>
<li>Changed default values for all read capability bits</li>
<li>Enhanced picking API<br>
</li>
<li>Stencil buffer support<br>
</li>
<li>New rendering attributes</li>
<li>Other minor features and API changes<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>System Properties</h4>
<p>The following system properties were added in Java 3D 1.4.0:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><code>j3d.shadingLanguage</code> – sets the shading language to
use for programmable shaders. Supported values are: "GLSL" or "Cg". The
default value is "GLSL".<br>
</li>
<li><code>j3d.simulatedMultiTexture</code> – 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.<br>
</li>
</ul>
