Hi there!
Does anybody know if there are already 3d-engines that are based on JOGL which are OpenSource?
Thanks a lot, lg Clemens
Isn’t Xith3D one of that?

The CVS version of OpenMind is based on JoGL.
We haven’t put it online as a binary download yet because we can’t advance on it for the time being and are not satisfied with the current stability (there is a flaw in the camera class), but still development continues advancing thanks to open source conrtibutions especially from Jan Eickmann and Juri Ganitkevitch (thanks guys !)
So if you can figure how to use a CVS tool you can download the JOGL version of OpenMind.

Sourceforge developer website with CVS :

Two competing 3d-engines based on Jogl? Interestingly…
What are the … focus points of the two, in a few sentences, if that is possible to say?
Hi again!
Both projects seem to have theit advantages and disadvantages…
Xith3d seems a little bit too low level for my purposes, but seems to be clear and 100% java.
OpenMind looks much higher-level and seems to be cooler to me 
Althought I dont understand why they have to support each OS seperatly, this makes me think they use native code, and native code is evil for deployment.
But OpenMind looks great, does it support loading extern formats like quake,…
Thanks, lg Clemens
Never heard of OpenMind before, they surf the very separate forums or just dont want to keep noise.
Hi,
I implemented my own 3D engine called Java Is Doomed (JID) and used it for my game ESCAPE (http://javaisdoomed.sourceforge.net). The game and the engine is OpenSource (http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaisdoomed/). I’m just implementing my second game using the JID engine, if you’re interested, just take a look.
