Class SequenceReader

java.lang.Object

com.sun.j3d.loaders.lw3d.SequenceReader

 class SequenceReader
extends java.lang.Object

This class was created to read a special file format devised for JavaOne '98 that allowed Tloop functionality inside of Lightwave. It would be best to find a more standard solution, including using some plug-in for lw3d that I've heard of that allows artists to automatically save out the geometry for a file at every frame.

Method Detail

createJava3dObjects

void createJava3dObjects(int debugVals,
                       int loadBehaviors)
                   throws java.io.FileNotFoundException

Creates Java3D objects from the data defined in the sequence file. Calls each sequenceLine object to create its own j3d objects, then puts all of those objects in a single Switch node. Finally, it creates a SwitchPathInterpolator object which handles switching between each object/s defined by each line

Throws:

java.io.FileNotFoundException

getObjectNode

TransformGroup getObjectNode()

getObjectBehaviors

java.util.Vector getObjectBehaviors()

printLines

void printLines()
