year, that's wright! i think this is much comfortable for the user.

i think there are also two things which create the hickups. first the one when i call the load3Ds function and then in the main-loop when i add the object to the world. perhaps i render the world four or five times bevor i add a new object to the world.

...or i have to export the rooms in more parts than i do at the moment.

hi!

is it possible to use a real streming for building objects?

i have to use a streaming algorithm for streaming objects over network.
i start at a first room and load the neighbour rooms one after the other. when i change the rooms i load the neighbours of this one and delete old rooms and so one...
the problem is when i add the objects the screens jerks.
i add the objects by using Loader.load3DS( InputStream resource, float scale  ). creating an octree and building an Object3D and save it ot a renderqueue.
after rendering the scene i take the first object from renderqueue and add it to the world.

but there is no difference between using load3DS with inputstream or with file because the object is only build when the inputstream is finished.

has somebody a notion how to do this in a better way?

perhaps it's possible to load one polygon after the other from the 3ds file and add polygon after polygon to the object. perhaps as child of the first polygon from the object so when i delete the first one from the world the childs are also deleted or by using the object3d megerobjects function.

hope to understand what i mean and somebody could help me...plz

some doors are open and some are closed.

but the idea with the collision even could be the my answer of my problem

is it possible to place some transparent objects at a world? so i could place the transparent objects at the position of the doors...but i think than i have to poll if a certain object is involved.

Hi!

i have to visualize a large building which should be also reachable by low speed internet. that is at least the illusion

so i split the complex into many rooms and floors etc.

to get right performance i stream the neighbour rooms of the room where i actually stand.
ok for the first room this works

but now i want to change the room and stream the next neighbour rooms and possibly destroy some. i think i can use portals for this by placing the portals at the alley where the doors are placed.

may this the right beginning for my problem or could somebody give me a better approach?
 

PS: i know that i have to set portals by hand. but i save the rooms as strings in an array with their names in world, position for the lights and also coordinates for the portals. with another array (same size) i represent a tree of dependency of rooms in detail. a special function add and destroy the right rooms by handling with this array. hope it is to understand what i mean

hmm, gut, hab es auch gerade probiert und es funktioniert soweit. *freu*
Hab einfach das Rendern und Hinzufügen per Semaphore geschützt. Denke das ist dann einfacher als mit ner Renderqueue oder so zu hantieren.

Denke bald kann ich auch mal ein paar Screenshots oder ähnliches zeigen, wenn Interesse besteht.

i don't exactly know what you want to say. i think you post is about handle loading big files, isn't it?
did you use opengl-hardware renderer?
because the problem i have is that software renderer needs good processing power than textures in my applet are too big.
with streaming in my applet i have no problem...or not yet

hmm, it's a pity.
webstart is not the thing i want or have to use.

but a question about webstart: with webstart i download the complete application, is that right? is there also the possibilty to stream objects after loading the "main-part" of my world?

sry for my confusion.

i know how i use lights in jpct and i also know the different between the types of lights.

what i mean is a tutorial about who to place lights on the right positions in rooms/worlds to get effect of being in a real room/world.
something like rules about setting lights on right position in gamedsign.

now, i hope it's better to understand what i'm searching for.
