Tornado Labs used to have a link to the great tool J3DTree.
This link is dead now. Any idea, where this tool is being hosted?
Tornadolabs j3dtree Scenegraph Tree & Selman’s VRML Picking Demo
| Yes, Tornadolabs J3dtree Scenegraph Tree Viewer works |
|---|
| I’ve used it and it’s been documented in the Java3d archives. |
| Here’s an image of it Running ( and documentation follows ): |

|
| It’s one of many programs that uses Sun’s VRML Loaders
| vrml97.jar files ( along with Nasa’s Fastscript3d Web apps
| and Sun’s Java3d Scenegraph Editor, see below for both ).
|
| “Documentation” |
|---|
| 1) Get the “.jar” files |
| 2) type: jar -xvf j3dtree_jar.jar |
| 3) type: ( on Windows ): run_j3dtree.bat |
| ---- ( on Linux ): sh ./run_j3dtree.sh |
| 4) click on the sphere, cylinder, or box |
| 5) yell: " Wow, it works ! " |

| Picking of VRML objects with your mouse is demonstrated
| in a new book, Java 3D Programming, by Daniel Selman
| ( shown on the left ).
|
| The source code is avaible for free.
|
| This new book uses the old, reliable Sun VRML Loaders for Java3d.
|
| The program reads a 3d scene as a simple VRML text file,
| and displays the Java3d Scene Graph ( which is interactive,
| you can expand and collapse the branches of the scenegraph
| and examine the contents of the nodes ), it renders
| the 3d scene, and when you click on an object it tells you
| what you clicked on.
|
| You can see ( and download ) the Java Source code
| of the operative file: VrmlPickingTest.java
|
| The publisher’s site has more informatation on the book.
