jPCT is another free 3D engine for Java and Android

jPCT-AE is a port of jPCT to Android (AE is from Android Edition). Like any port it's not just a new renderer for the normal version of jPCT to be more suitable for the Android platform.

Some features :

  • optimized for the Android platform
  • supports OpenGL ES 1.x and 2.0 on Android 1.5 or higher
  • loads 3DS, OBJ, MD2, ASC and serialized files
  • keyframe animations (taken from a MD2-file or self defined)
  • skeletal animations via raft's Bones API
  • shader support via GLSL for OpenGL ES 2.0
  • vertex, ambient, diffuse and specular lighting
  • build-in primitives like cones, cubes, spheres...
  • render to texture
  • texture compression
  • collision detection (ray-polygon, sphere-polygon and ellipsoid-polygon)
  • generates vertex-, face- and tangent normals automatically
  • pixel perfect, geometry based picking
  • transparency and fog effects
  • billboarding
  • lens flares
  • single pass multi texturing using up to 4 texture stages (if hardware supports it)
  • support for VBOs, FBOs and vertex arrays

Blender Conference 2012

Blender Conference 2012 - it will take three days this year (October 12-13-14, 2012).

The place it's Amsterdam.

Also, the registration fees give access to all events and are including drinks and daily lunch.

Anyway ... All you need is on blender website.

Tips and tricks: use your tablet to see webgl output.

One big problem it's the result of WebGL output.
You have an old pc and also you want to make WebGL stuff.
Also, you have one big problem and this is about your video card and browser.
And this problem it's:... don't want to show the result of your WebGL.
The solution is your tablet.
Many tablets have a good video card also you can use firefox web browser.
I try this demos and all working fine.
My tablet has a MALI GPU with 400 Mhz with 2D, 3D processor.
If you have ideas about how to use tablets to solve things, just send or comment here.
