Re: 3rd: 3D Viewer, needs j3d-1_5_2-windows-amd64 . zip

[Gabriel Landini]

Hi Stein,
A bit of an old thread, but today I tried java3d 1.7.0-final and no, the 3D
viewer does not work. It works fine with 1.6 and the instructions you gave
below in Java 1.8 (thanks!).

If somebody has a suggestion on how to make the 3dviewer work in Java 14 I
would like to know, too.

Thanks

Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

If you need a Java 3D with the old package prefix, try using 1.6.1:

  https://github.com/hharrison/java3d-core/releases/tag/1.6.1

OR, you can use the SciJava fork's 1.6.0-pre-1 release, which did not
rename packages:

  https://maven.scijava.org/#nexus-search;gav~org.scijava~~1.6.0-scijava-1~~

Java 3D 1.7.x has the renamed package prefix (to org.jogamp.java3d).

Where did you download 1.7.0-final? I can't find it!

* The Java 3D wikipedia page says 1.7.0 was released in January, but it has
no download link.
* Phil Jord (maintainer of Java 3D 1.7.0) has only 1.7.0-pre-1 on his
releases page [1].
* It's not on Maven Central.

Regards,
Curtis

P.S. The page https://imagej.net/Java_3D is supposed to collect all these
details, but it needs an update covering the 1.7.0 version, as well as
clarification about who maintains these different versions, how the package
prefixes work, etc. As soon as the imagej.net migration [2] is complete
next month, we can update it!

Hi Curtis,
Thanks for the pointers. Do those work with Java 14?

> Where did you download 1.7.0-final? I can't find it!

From here:
https://jogamp.org/deployment/java3d/1.7.0-final/

Cheers

Yes I also tried 1.7.0 without success.

There is a version 1.6.2 however, which worked fine with the 3D viewer:
https://jogamp.org/deployment/java3d/1.6.2/
Same installation method as in my previous post.

There was a thread some time ago about a GUI font scaling issue and different java versions.
When I tested that, Java3D 1.6.2 worked as well with the alternative Java version discussed. I do not remember the details as I am on travel this week and did not bring my work computer where the files are. If someone can point me to the newest relevant Java version I can test this when I get back in town next week.

Dear all,
I have to say that 3D in ImageJ never satisfied me, thus I went for Chimera
and more recently Napari...
