I had very good memory of using JPCT a few years back. Now I'm trying to do AR programming. Does it support AR purely in Android (no native/NDK)?

Hi,
Is there any support for 3D point-cloud visualization in JPCT-AE? They are XYZRGB formatted. Here you can find a few samples: https://jpeg.org/plenodb/pc/8ilabs/

Hi,
I'm trying to play 360 videos on Android. Basically it needs a shader to morph the video frames (in equirectangular format) into a sphere and such. I was wondering if jPCT supports playing 360 videos? I understand it is for 3D graphics and not really for videos. But talking about shader and stuff, I am just giving a shot to my favorite 3D mobile engine

Hi,
I see some tips and posts on Vuforia and VR integration into jPCT. Just to clear myself, is it possible to use jPCT APIs (and/or AE) to stream VR from PC to a phone or oculus for example? I have done 3D game streaming before, but have no experiences about VR and the contents...if Yes, can it be done directly using jPCT's APIs in Java?

Hi,
I've had happy days using jPCT for developing 3D games and benchmarks. Now I need to develop a test 2D platform similar to a snake and ladder game. Shall I still consider jPCT for 2D games as well, or it is best customized as a 3D engine?

Hi,
I'm going to use jPCT-AE for a research project, but there is a tricky part. Is there any ways to specify to bind running the code on GPU, or CPU? I want to compare the performance.

Hi Egon,
I used to run the jPCT-AE's Demo (http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/download/alpha/) and build on top of it last year; but don't know why nowadays that I'm using the Android's new SDK/IDE, I can not run your Demo, and actually even my old codes! When trying to run, it brings the popular message of: "The application ..xxx.. has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" Can you upload the full Eclipse project of Demo, so maybe might work simply by importing it? I don't know what is wrong... 

Hi Egon,
Well, with the success of jPCT, it is now more than just a game engine! I want to use it for civil engineering applications, which support for .ifc 3D models is needed. In general, is there any plans for support of more 3D formats?

Hi Egon,
jPCT AE can support Augmented Reality based on what I've learnt. Is there any sample project, or a quick reference how we can do this? I believe there must be some efficient computer vision stuff there as well; As a simple example, when I'm pointing to my laptop using the camera, I want a 3D model to be there! Such cool things...Isn't there any library specific for AR?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Is there any ways to control frames generated by the game?
I want to for instance access the frames as images, say consequent .jpeg images.
Another thing in mind is limiting the fps, say I want always have a 20fps. It was best to provide an API class for them 

Hi there,
Recently I've been thinking of connecting kinect to mobile device!
Is there any ways for realtime visualization of live objects/point clouds using jPCT AE?
So assume that I have already a program that grabs point clouds from kinect, and then I want to show them in jPCT realtime! I could zoom in, move the live object!
Can it be implemented with jpct AE, with good responsiveness and without high computation? I want to go for JAVA!

Hi,
In my demo, I've got almost 20 objects and corresponding textures. Everything at this moment works, but when I just change one of these objects to be downloaded from somewhere, I get out of memory error. Is there any tips for that?
(Finally I have to download all of these 20 objects, similar to waterput)

Here after getting the .md2 file, I add it to the world.

waterput = Loader.loadMD2(stream("waterput.md2"),1f);
tm.addTexture("waterput", new Texture(res.openRawResource(R.raw.waterputtex)));
waterput.setTexture("waterput");
waterput.clearAnimation();
waterput.translate(170, -35, -130);
world.addObject(waterput);
waterput.strip();


This is the method which gets a name, receives the object from a URL and returns it.

BufferedInputStream stream(String name) throws IOException{
//TODO
String objURL = "http://www.xxx.edu/xxx/"+name;
URLConnection conn = new URL(objURL).openConnection();
conn.connect();
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(conn
.getInputStream());
Loader.clearCache();

return bis;
}

btw, I do not need all the keyframes in the .md2 files, so I call clearAnimation() to remove them.

Hi there,
Is there any difference if we use colored texture (say green) or load a green image file (say a .png file)?  in terms of rendering overhead, or anything?
thanks

Hi there,
I'm getting out of memory from my demo! I'm just using maybe 10 objects (mostly md2, but did not activated the animations), with their textures. I've read the wiki, and some related comments about memory savings. However I know the size of textures is not important, but still wondering! the whole resources are just 2.4 mb! I'm using some common textures; 256x256, or some of them are 512...In a typical game, it is the same way.
Does it matter, for textures where I add them to texture manager? should they be set in the beginning?! and what about the blitting? One of my textures is a sky; so I blit it (a typical 24bit 512 texture).

Hi there,
I've tried to load a md2 animation file, and based on what I've learned from others, it seems that I should always put the animated scenes in the onDrawFrame() method. However it worked. but as was expected, it is so fast. What is the best way to slow it down?

Hi everybody,
It seems there is no specific networking API predefined in JPCT-AE. I want to transfer the objects from a server to a client, then try to render them and run the game. The simple method is using Android's API, creating a connection and simply transfer the items. Does it work? Is there any alternatives for that? Thanks

Hi,
How many 3D object format does JPCT-AE supports? Is it just .ser files? I have to add some objects to my 3D game. Thanks

Hi everybody,
I'm a research assistant, and recently I've got very interested with JPCT's Android. Now I'm going to set up a networked 3D game, in which the objects are being streamed (from a server to the client). Is it possible to set up such thing in JPCT? If yes, how?
One idea is simply transferring all needed objects (i.e. the mesh and the textures) prior to the start of the game; in the better version we can transfer while playing the game; for instance as we go ahead, we transfer the near objects, that we can see. Is there any sample networked 3D game you may know of which I can use the source code?
Thanks in advance

hi everybody,
I'm a research assistant, and I want to test a 3D benchmark for my research. the an3Dbench (specially ninja, dragon) looks best for me to test. Is there any source code available for them that I can use different method applied to them? it is kind of URGENT for me. If you know any intensive openSource 3D benchmark (not a simple cube rotating!) please also tell me.
Thanks a lot.
