What is heap space? To increase the amount of heap space allocated to the SDK, we must navigate to the SDK's installation directory and edit the etc/jmonkeyplatform.conf file. text/html 2012-02-04T02:43:52+00:00 sbook http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/sdk?rev=1328323432&do=diff What is the jMonkeyEngine SDK? The jMonkeyEngine SDK (software development kit) is a game development environment for jMonkeyEngine 3. Download the SDK and join the jMonkey project to keep up with the latest activity! The jMonkeyEngine SDK is an IDE that provides you with specialized plugins for creating jMonkeyEngine 3 game content. You can download and install the jMonkeyEngine SDK as a ready-to-use complete game development environment, rather than using just a generic IDE to work with ra… text/html 2012-02-03T21:26:42+00:00 zathras http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3:advanced:light_and_shadow?rev=1328304402&do=diff [Examples of shading and lighting.] Light and Shadow are two separate things in 3D engines, although we percieve them together in real life: * Lighting means that an object is brighter on the side facing the light direction, and darker on the backside. Computationally, this is relatively easy. * Lighting does not mean that objects cast a shadow on the floor or other objects: Activating shadow processing is an additional step described here. Since casting shadows has an impact on performan… text/html 2012-02-03T20:11:35+00:00 zathras http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/documentation?rev=1328299895&do=diff You are a Java developer who wants to write 3D games that run on Windows, Mac, Linux, the web, and Android platform? Then you have come to the right place. The jMonkeyEngine framework (jME) is a high-performance, 3D scenegraph-based graphics API with state-of-the-art features. text/html 2012-02-03T19:48:11+00:00 zathras http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3:setting_up_netbeans_and_jme3?rev=1328298491&do=diff For development with the jMonkeyEngine 3, we recommend to use the jMonkeyEngine SDK. Alternatively, you can use your favorite IDE: In this tutorial we show how to download and set up the latest nightly build of the jMonkeyEngine 3 for use with the NetBeans IDE. Instructions for Eclipse are also available. text/html 2012-02-02T17:41:51+00:00 jonhoye http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3:beginner:hello_terrain?rev=1328204511&do=diff Previous: Hello Collision, Next: Hello Audio One way to create a 3D landscape is to sculpt a huge terrain model. This gives you a lot of artistic freedom -- but rendering such a huge model can be quite slow. This tutorial explains how to create fast-rendering terrains from heightmaps, and how to use texture splatting to make the terrain look good. text/html 2012-01-27T23:38:04+00:00 Tumaini http://jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3:advanced:nifty_gui_popup_menu?rev=1327707484&do=diff Even though you create and populate the popup menu in Java, you still need a "placeholder" in your XML file.

You need to read the grassloader part to get it running, the rest is optional. The GrassLoader (Basic) Grass is put into the scene through the grassloader. There are five steps to set it up. 1) Set up the Forester object. The forester contains factory methods for grass/treeloader and is used by the loaders for quick access to application data.

From an implementation point of view, these apparently different interactions are surprisingly similar: The user first aims and selects a target in the 3D scene, and then triggers an action on it.

This article is about the non-physical (mathematical) collisions. Non-physical collision detection is interesting because it uses less computing resources than physical collision detection.
