Post by: leorus on August 29, 2013, 01:49:16 pm

I have just started using jpct-ae with eclipse.

 Hi leo!

  What  exactly you are getting ?Are the box with wrong dimensions or they are not appearing  on the screen at all? Did you build and add your object3d primitive. Example-
 cube = Primitives.getCube(10);
 cube.build();
 world.addObject(cube);

Also check your camera so that it sees the box in case if it is not visible.
 cam.lookAt(cube.getTransformedCenter());
Also check that your camera is far enough .....
i.e it should be not inside the box .

The wiki has example code to create a cube. It shouldn't be too hard to modify it in a way that it creates arbitrary boxes.
