Introduction
Java APIs
Java 3D
What is Java3D ?
SceneGraph
JOGL
Wrapper for OpenGL


Java3D is a low
level 3D scenegraph based
graphics
programming
API for the java
language.

J3D provides a
3D rendering
API for the Java
language, but
at the same
time it may use
OpenGL to do
the interface to
the hardware
Java 3D
Java 3D available for
Direct 3D and OpenGL
High level language
using OpenGL and
Direct 3D to render
3D graphics

> Computation and Design using
SceneGraph concept
> Use Hardware Accelerated libraries to
render

JOGL
First There Was OpenGL
Low Level API interface with
Hardware Acceleration
Can’t do anything without a
window to store your graphics
Introduction of GLUT to make
window creation simpler
OOP with OpenGL ?  JOGL

JOGL
> provide full access to OpenGL through
a friendly Java API
> Sun and Silicon Graphics (SGI)
supported
> Support full access to OpenGL
methods through JNI
> Requires Java2 Standard Edition 1.4
and above
9
JOGL
> Different API Structure
> hardware-supported 3D graphics to
applications written in Java

Java3D and JOGL
 Java3D natively supports import of
VRML, 3DS through Loaders
 Use of Java Media Framework to allow
streaming videos
 Planar Texture Mapping
