How to limit frames in Java3D ?

[zingbat]

So i need to limit the max number of frames in java3d to 30 then measure the amount of time i have left (in a second) to do other things.

Is there any easy way to do this ? With just a couple of lines of code ?

If this isn't possible then if it is possible to measure in average the time it takes for a frame to complete (average  of frames per seconds) it would do the trick I hope.

Yes. And no. It's easy to do with a timer, but Windows has such a poor timer resolution that you can't limit the frame rate exactly (things get a bit jerkey). The solution, is a native DLL for windows. All other OSes are ok. Go to:

and check out GAGETimer. A good frame limiting algo is also offered at the bottom of the page. Note that if you ever switch to LWJGL, it has its own high res timer.
