Is java 3d a separate software, or what?

Java 3D is a high-level API for 3D graphics programming in Java. It allows developers to create and display 3D graphics in their Java applications, including features such as textures, lighting, and animation.

Java 3D is not a separate software, but rather a set of classes and libraries that can be used within the Java programming language. To use Java 3D, you need to download the Java 3D API from the official website and include it in your project's classpath.

Once you have set up Java 3D in your project, you can start creating 3D graphics by defining objects, setting up a virtual universe, adding lights and cameras, and specifying how objects should be rendered. You can also apply textures to objects to make them more realistic and use animations to bring your scenes to life.

Overall, Java 3D is a powerful tool for creating interactive and visually appealing 3D graphics in Java applications. It provides developers with the ability to create immersive experiences for users and opens up new possibilities for game development, scientific visualization, and other applications that require advanced graphics capabilities.

what is java 3d?

Java 3D is loooooong ago dead. Old api from the early 2000's

#

AI is smoking crack.

#

You shouldn't

#

they are saying use modern APIs instead of old stuff

crude frigate Jun 7, 2024, 8:48 AM

#

I don't think you could find the correct jars or documentation. It's that dead.

#

I mean you can just use lwjgl heh

pure phoenix Jun 7, 2024, 9:36 AM

#

not really called addons
anyways, for 3D you usually use either the 3D capabilities from your app platform (like JavaFX)
or some kind of specialized 3D graphics / game library like LWJGL

#

Or JOGL

#

well it would be helpful to know what your goal is

pure phoenix Jun 7, 2024, 10:27 AM

#

Yeah take a look at LWJGL then

#

There's also nice game engines for Java if that's your thing

#

https://libgdx.com/

#

^^ LibGDX for example

#

LWJGL then

#

that's typically what's used, it's cross platform as well

#

maybe, but you shouldn't use VSCode for Java

#

Use a proper Java IDE like IntelliJ (or Eclipse)

#

Because it's terrible for Java specifically

#

It doesn't have the many tools that proper IDE's have

pure phoenix Because it's terrible for Java specifically

Okay, maybe not terrible if you're doing simple things

#

but it will quickly get in your way for more advanced use

And, as is quite clear from the huge number of "my java isn't working" questions... it's really easy to bust its configuration.

#

IntelliJ is pretty much the professional standard. The free community edition can do everything you need (Ultimate has some nice extras, but none are necessary).

And the community edition has no restrictions on what you're writing. You can do closed source commercial development with community.

#

I'm totally onboard with Oracle and Microsoft improving the VS Code experience for Java development - that competition can only bear good outcomes for me.... but VS Code Java development is just not at the level I need yet.
