What graphics cards are supported?
Java3D 1.3.1: Works fine on NVidia cards. ATI cards with new drivers do not work with j3d 1.3.1 on Windows (on Linux work fine). Matrox cards do not work with turned off Z-buffer (it is turned off by default in this videocards, so, if you want to run java3d on Matrox, you should turn on Z-buffer). Also, in some cases Matrox does not work even with turned Z-buffer or does not render textures (these problems can be solved by using DirectX j3d version, setting 16-bit color depth, setting 800×600 video mode at last). Intel cards have troubles with refreshing on OpenGL version. Java3D 1.3.2: Works fine on NVidia, ATI ( Win32 : CATALYST 5.3 or later ) and Matrox (with turned on Z-buffer). Also works fine on Windows 2000 using S3 Savage4 ( driver Sigma Savage4 v8.40.03) .
