No Java3D/DirectX support? (Read 870 times)
No Java3D/DirectX support?
Aug 31st, 2009, 3:59pm
 
Pardon if this is a dumb question, but a casual search didn't explicitly answer it.

Does Processing use Java 3D?  By the dearth of search results, it looks like it's only JOGL.  Next question would be, "Why not?"  I'd like to make a visualizer that runs on Mac and Windows and doesn't require much downloading.

TIA.

Java3D is just another wrapper for OpenGL or Direct3D. I do not see the advantages of it.

btw all renderers work well on Windows and Mac (and of course Linux).
