Java 3D or Processing ( 3D game )
Nov 2nd, 2007, 5:11am  
I am trying to create a 3D game in Java, should I go for Java 3D like :

http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JOGL

or i should stick with Processing?

there are many source code example on how to do 3D game using java 3D like:

http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad/jg/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/java3dgamesdk/

but i found zero 3D game source code example using Processing.

Is using Java 3D API a better approach in creating 3D game?

Or is there commercial quality 3D game engine in Processing?

Processing can use JOGL. However there are no engines already built for doing 3D games in processing.

I'm writing a 3D game, but there's no generic engine to use, so it's all stuff I've written myself.

Yes, I see Processing doesn't come with any game engine library.

For rapid 3D game development in Java, is there any recommended game engine out there?

I think Processing is not suitable for rapid 3D game development.

Ever been to gamasutra.com?

Anyway.. you can also check out Valve's Source Engine development. It might not be as "rapid" as you might like but it is certainly modular and great for developing 3D games.

If you want a serious 3D game library in Java, try http://jmonkeyengine.com/ . It has all the bells and whistles, but it is nowhere near as easy to use as Processing.

If you are willing to code in c/c++, I would recommend http://www.ogre3d.org/ .
