Foil 39 Java 3D vs VRML

From Java Media Framework API's Basic Information Track Computational Science Course CPS616 -- Spring Semester 1999. by Byeongseob Ki, Scott Klasky, Nancy McCracken
Java 3D has richer semantics for scoping lights, sound, fog, behaviors, and backgrounds
Java 3D and VRML share similar notions of:
  • Shapes
  • Appearance
  • Material
  • Grouping
  • Transform
  • Lighting
Example: Create a red 3D text shape "Hello World"
