Art of Illusion / JOGL

I wondered if anyone has had this weird issue using Art Of Illusion (Java 3d modeler).

  • Run the app. Open the preferences screen. It shows up and then disappears almost right away.

I’m using a Mac and have found a way around the problem. If you have the preferences set to use openGL, it will do this. If openGL is disabled, it won’t. To ensure the setting is correct, locate the preferences file (aoiprefs) in your home directory. Its under Documents and Settings/(user name) on windows. The property entry is -

useOpenGL

Switch it to true or false to change behavior.

When set to true, AOI uses jogl for its 3d views. Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks,
