Java3D 1.5.0 released

https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html

Thanks to the Java3D team for this next step.

Is there a feature list or release notes anywhere? Can’t see any on the site :frowning:

here, perhaps?

Anyone know the status of Java3D Sound? I read in the j3d forums that there might be something wrong but not sure if they fixed it by release time.

Out of the box, only JavaSoundMixer is supported, which is pretty feature-free and also buggy.

There is JOALMixer growing in the incubator (https://j3d-incubator.dev.java.net/) maintained by David Grace.

It looks promising so far, but also still have a lot of issues. I assume that there many issues on the Java3D side (so not in the mixer itself). I’m in contact with David to bring it to work for FlyingGuns, but theres still some way to go.

The current state of sound in Java3D is: don’t use it! :frowning:

If you have the time, it would be a good idea to contribute and support David (thats what I do). If you just need a sound solution, you’d better roll one yourself.
