As I said, I had a working prototype and implementation idea already set. Right now I`m looking ways to do it in Java.
Can anyone comment on Ogre4J?

 But vterrain.org is a very good resource. When I worked on the prototype then I got tons of useful information there.

I also would like an opinion on Ogre4J.
By the way, is your source code free?
It`s always interesting to look at different approaches.
I myself will go for quadtree continious LOD, where I
will make a cube of 6 2D planes and map it to a sphere.

Hey.

I`m working on a procedural planets project. Implementation details are
resolved and most of them tested in C++.
But since I got interested in Java lateley, I want to complete my project
in J2SE. So my question to you is - which library to use?

I see that most obvious options would be:
Ogre4J - it`s being updated again and the logic in c++ should give some speed gain(less calls through JNI). But it should also lower flexibility.
JOGL - too low-level, since you need to write all culling / scene graph yourself
Java3D - don`t know much
jME - didn`t make a good impression, looked too specialized and in the other direction of my needs

Bests,
Mirko

Maybe some wise guy could contact with me at MSN: mirkoadari7@hotmail.com
I have some questions what needs interactive communication.

Thanks.

Okay, lets start now.
Developing a game and it`s main porpuse is to be real as can be. Definitely it points to surround systems and 3D Audio. But the game should be playable without surround system.
So question: What should i look and which librarys(and how) use to make a very compatible sound system for a 3d game.

Cheers,

Mirko

The question has been asked alot but answered every time differently.
Some ppl worship Java3D for gaming, some tell that it is **** and too slow for games.
Xith3D - i looked at their web page and am afraid that this project is fading.
And if i use Xith3D how portable is it? Can i bring in different sound APIs and so on.
Will: Could u contact me at MSN mirkoadari7@hotmail.com
May have interesting offer for u.

I looked over Xith3D webpage and project but the last announcements are from year 2003.
Has the progress stopped?
If so is it meanful to use it?

Okay, some little background of me:
I have seven years programming expierience.
Three years C, Three years C++ and one year Java.
I have expierience with C++@OpenGL.
Details about project:
Project is very highdetailed. For example cars are modeled with every polt in the engine and so on.
Game will be quite with high graphics and completly online.
Problem:
I have looked around Java technologys to accomplish desired result. But the more i liook, the more i get confused.
For the bindings for OpenGL it seems to be nice using JOGL. For device controlling Jinput.
But first what about Sound?
And should i create my own framework or use some API.
And when then which one - Xith3D, Java3D, JME, smth else?

Please suggest me smth guys,
Cheers,

Mirko
