Hey I was searching google for Java BPM with android in mind and ran across your site. Looks like you are doing some cool stuff. Looking forward to finding out what your android project will be.

hierarchyviewer (included with the SDK) is a very helpful tool to see how your own (and other) UI is built by Android.

Jason, I really do appreciate the work and money you put into your sites and documentaries. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.
If you prefer I can take out your name and link, just let me know.

I absolutely do not appreciate being used as an example here of anything.

Re: Tutorial: jMonkeyEngine applet - hardware 3D in the browser

Sterrenkijker — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 19:25:04 -0000

I'm finally back from vacation and now I'm trying again :).

I'm doing everything locally. All jar files are in the same directory as the html page, and all lower case:
[code]
corien@Ubuntu-Corien:~/towerwarscrap/streamhead$ ls -R
.:
applet.html compileandrun.sh jme-awt.jar jmetest-data-images.jar lwjgl.jar my_jar.jar
applettest jme.jar jmetest.jar lwjgl_util_applet.jar natives.jar

./applettest:
AppletTestBoxColor.class AppletTestBoxColor.java
[/code]

I'm executing the following commands to compile it and get it running:
[code]
rm my_jar.jar applettest/AppletTestBoxColor.class
javac -classpath .:jme.jar:jme-awt.jar:jmetest-data-images.jar:jmetest.jar:lwjgl.jar:lwjgl_util_applet.jar:natives.jar applettest/AppletTestBoxColor.java
jar cf my_jar.jar applettest/AppletTestBoxColor.class
jarsigner -keystore ~/.keystore -storepass password -keypass password my_jar.jar tradeandconquer
jarsigner -verify -certs my_jar.jar
appletviewer applet.html
[/code]

The html page refers to the jars, I don't see where lwjgl_util_applet.jar could be missing. Where else could the configuration be wrong?

I lately tried compiling another game I've been working on a few months ago, also with lwjgl. It worked fine a few months ago, but now I can't get it started either. Maybe it has somehow to do with the configuration of my computer/the java installation, because I upgraded my computer not very long ago. Maybe I should try it on windows, but not today, it's too late now.

This looks like a classpath issue. The applet code seems fine, but maybe the applet cannot load the archives. Are you trying this locally or on a server? Did you put all the .jar files in the same directory as the html page? Are they all lower case?

The issue you're having is usually caused by some small error in the configuration, but it's not always easy to find.

Re: Sandy 3D Tutorial: Getting Started with Sandy and FlashDevelop

That's a very interesting question. I've been experimenting a bit with it and I'll do a blogpost of my initial findings next Tuesday. So check back soon.

Re: Tutorial: jMonkeyEngine applet - hardware 3D in the browser

Sterrenkijker — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:08:20 -0000

I tried to get it compiled and run, but it didn't run:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/lwjgl/util/applet/LWJGLInstaller
at com.jme.system.lwjgl.LWJGLSystemProvider.installLibs(Unknown Source)
at com.jmex.awt.applet.SimpleJMEApplet.init(Unknown Source)
at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:380)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)

This is my html code:
<applet code="applettest.AppletTestBoxColor"
archive=”lwjgl_util_applet.jar,lwjgl.jar,natives.jar,jme.jar,jme-awt.jar,jmetest.jar,jmetest-data-images.jar,my_jar.jar” width="800" height="600">
<param name="useAppletCanvasSize" value="true"/> </applet>

the lwjgl_util_applet.jar that contains the missing file is in the same directory as all the other jars, I don't really see the problem.

The applet you compiled works fine by the way :), I tried it on two different computers, both running ubuntu linux with firefox, one java 1.5 and the other java6.

rafbaf — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:48:19 -0000

hello, just think this tutorial is great, but I am completely lost still, I have managed to get flash develop running the examples youve posted. I am confused though how I can run a blender project after it has been exported as an actionscript file.

If you could describe how to use sandy and flashdevelop to run blender as would be fantastic. The 3ds max tutorials i tried following them but i cant seem to mix that method with blender.

Cheers

The design for your Blog got my attention today. Blog look great but you should have a list of “best posts”. I bet the best post lists has made your online blog quite a bit more popular.

Thank you for the mention Peter, it is much appreciated. I started the blog as a bit of fun, but as the economy went down the shoot it seemed to gain more momentum. Perhaps the Federal Reserve could use my blog as an economic indicator!?

Never forget to occaisionally look down when walking you never know what you might find, except of course when crossing the road.

Thanks for the link. Looks like you have some nice vectors on your site. I'm going to have to create a vector resource post in the near future.

Re: 10 Highly Recommended Resources to Make the Internet Your Free Travel Agent

brionnotbrian — Tue, 26 May 2009 05:53:58 -0000

hostels.com is a great site but not just for hostels. it is also fab for budget accommodation such as cheap hotels, b&bs, guesthouses and campsite.

hostelworld i would say it the best site around for affordable accommodation. it has a great selection of property types plus videos, guides, podcasts, etc

Re: How to use vector graphics in FlashDevelop - SVG in Flash

pbackx — Tue, 19 May 2009 08:51:16 -0000

Thanks for the comment and for the great SVG shootout on your blog: http://www.rosamez.com/?p=308

I'm not sure why the right clicking stopped working, I'll have to look into that. In the meantime, I suppose manually writing the embed tag will work, although it can be a bit tricky.

Re: Textures and IRender Tweaks Spice up Your Sketchup Renders

pbackx — Mon, 18 May 2009 16:30:28 -0000

No, I couldn't get the image up to an acceptable quality in time for the deadline. The finalists look great. Currently working with Google Sketchup and IRender is just a hobby for me, so sometimes work intervenes.

In that regard, I hope you bring back a free version of IRender nXt. Even if it has watermarks, I don't mind that too much for now.
Otherwise I think you guys are doing great. You've got probably the best rendering engine for SketchUp with top-notch integration. And you're constantly expanding the product range (I really need to try out the treemaker soon)

Great work!

I have to agree, Petit. The Sandy 3D forums are always helpful.

I have also updated the tutorial. You can find it at http://www.streamhead.com/sandy-3d-tutorial/
I've given it an easy so remember name and I'll try to keep that page up-to-date and add more information.

According to Adobe "some advanced gradients" are not supported: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html...

I know this is an old thread, but I tried the right click magic in FlashDevelop and nothing happened, so for a second I thought it's not possible to embed svg resources. I did some tests with Inkscape and besides the gradients I also have found transparency a bit problematic: some transparent objects are rendered as bitmaps and while most objects resize well, those end up jaggy.

Thanks for the kind words about IRender nXt.

Did you ever enter the Rendering Contest?
