How to simulate the underwater and fire effect with Java3D

Hi...My project is a Java 3D game and it need to have underwater and fire effect, but I dont know how to simulate them with Java3D best..Can anyone give me some ways to make them..thank..

You'll have to describe what effect you are looking for. Are you trying to model the surface of the water or do you want your scene to appear to be under the water? A surface can be done similar to a terrain but with transparency added to the geometry. Underwater effects would be tough if you want to distort the view of the scene. You might be able to get away with changing the field of view to be wider or rendering each frame yourself.
For fire effects, are you looking for animated flames? If so there are a few options.
1. Find a series of images of a fire and apply them to an OrientedShape3D through animation. This would be easiest.
2. Build a particle system with fuzzy objects (procedural texturing). This would be much harder but more realistic.

  • Can anyone tell me how to use the loops and backing tracks with a single guitar input? I can't seem to figure out how to set this up

    I am trying to configure Mainstage to input my own guitar and add a backing track from the library or a loop but, I can figure out how to open or add the tracks I've downloaded. Any help would be great

    did you try the PlayBack preset/template?
    once you open the PlayBack plug-in you just load the tracks from the plug-in's menu.

  • How much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on?

    This may be a really dumb question, but how much does Premiere Pro and After Effects rely on the hard drive it's installed on if all your video files, assets, disk cache, etc are on different drives than the one the program itself is installed on?
    The reason I am asking is that I currently have a "relatively" slow Sata II SSD for my C drive that has just my OS (windows 7 64bit) and programs (adobe editing programs, no games) installed on it and nothing else. All of the files used in my projects are saved on either a very fast Sata III SSD or a slower HDD depending on what the files are. For example, disk cache on the Sata III, stills on the HDD.
    Being cyber monday I have the opportunity to buy another very fast Sata III SSD to replace my current Sata II SSD C Drive (just OS and programs). Both synthetic and real world benchmarks show a near double in performance. I just want to know if anyone thinks the upgrade is even worth it because for all I know there won't be any increase in performance since no videos, still, cach, etc will be stored on the C Drive.
    The alternative is to get a second monitor because I currently only use one 21" monitor.
    I suppose another alternative would be to not buy anything on the cyber monday deals and just save money for something else.
    Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks Alex! I think you are right about not being able to notice the difference between the SSDs. I ended up finding a deal to get about $80 off a great monitor that I've been looking at for a while and decided to pull the trigger on it. I thought about it and realized that there have already been a bunch of times where I want to watch a tutorial on youtube and follow allong in AE or PrePro, but have to keep switching windows. I also frequently want to have my video preview on a separate monitor so I can have a taller timeline window. This monitor will help a lot with that. Thanks again for your help!

  • How to restrict the quantity & rate of MIRO with MIGO and PO

    Hi friends,
    Can any body tell me how to restrict the quantity & rate of MIRO with MIGO and PO.
    e.g. if we have done MIGO for quantity 10 and the rate maintained in the PO is Rs.100.Then at the time of MIRO system should not allow to change the quantity and rate.
    How we can do this?
    Regards  
    Purnesh Sharma

    Hi,
    You are misunderstanding the use of MIRO.
    If you change the details in MIRO you are NOT changing anything. You are just entering the price and quantity from the Invoice.
    If this price and or qty is different from the GR aqty and PO price then the system will block the invoice for payment (and it can issue messages toinform the buyer if configured correctly).
    The whole design of MIRO is based on the principle that you enter EXACTLY what the vendor has put on the invoice. By preventing the users from changing anything you will get NO mismatched invoices, but you will not be paying the vendor the amount specified on their invoice. This will surely cause problems.
    If you do want to ensure that ONLY the GR qty and the PO price are used and cannot be changed then why not consider using ERS (Eveluated Receipt Settlement. this is basically self billing.
    Effectively you will be paying the vendor based on what you have received in MIGO multiplied by the price from the PO. (which is what you would be doing if you stop any changes in MIRO)

  • I had a second hard drive added to my Mac Pro.  How do I format it and not effect my orginal hard drive?

    I had a second hard drive added to my Mac Pro.  How do I format it and not effect my orginal hard drive?

    Just format it with Disk Utility as mentioned above.  Select the new disk on the list at the left.  Click the erase tab.  Specify Mac OS Extended (Journaled) if not already specified and give the disk a name of your choice.  Then click the erase button.
    That's the simplest way to format a disk with a single partition (volum). If you want to create multiple volume (partitions) then click the Partition tab instead of Erase.  You can then use then specify a number of volumes and size each volume by specifying its size or just dragging the slider in the bootm right of each partition.  Give each a name as before and again Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click Apply button to create the partitions.
    Since you appear to be new at this just "play" with the erase and partition settings so you can become comfortable with them.  So long as you have the new disk selected on the left you can't really hurt anything since it's a new disk and no data to loose.  You can always go back and erase it back to a single partition.

  • How to simulate the escalation process

    Hi All,
    Can somebody tell me how to simulate the escalation process in service?I need to know whether all configuration in my system has done or not done yet....
    In my system if there's a problem in customer system for more than 7 hour, then system will detect the problem and send an sms/email to the person responsible in some level (ex: level 1 for SLG 95%), if the customer system still have a problem for more than 10 hour, then system will send an sms to person responsible in level 2, etc.
    I want to know how can I simulate this escalation process in CRM service manually. I'm using CRM 5.0. Any helpful answer will be rewarded. Thank you.

    Hi Aleluya,
    You can use date types which will have the times at which the trigger of mail is supposed to happen and once the current date and time is equal to say date type 1 there can be an action setup to send a mail to a particular partner function .
    Also you can use status condition for controlling the mails ..
    hope it helps
    Cheers!

  • How to disable the dashboard and spotlight for the latest Iion OS

    How to disable the dashboard and sportlight function in the latest Mac OS?

    to disable spotlight, open the terminal and type "sudo mdutil -a -i off" without the quotes. ( You will be prompted to enter your admin password.)
    to disable dashboard:
    Open Terminal, and then type this command, followed by the Return key:
    defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
    This tells the system that you no longer wish to have Dashboard available. However, the Dashboard task is actually “owned” by the Dock, so to make your changes take effect, you need to restart the Dock. The easiest way to do that is to type this command into the Terminal (and press Return when done):
    killall Dock
    After the Dock restarts, hit F12 and you’ll see…nothing at all. If you run Activity Monitor, you also won’t find any Dashboard widgets in the list of tasks, even if you had several open when you ran the above command.

  • How to change the name and description of a wim using DISM

    With Imagex we could update the name and description of the wim with on easy command:
    imagex /info img_file [img_number or
    img_name] [new_name] [new_desc]
    e.g.
    imagex /info Win7Combined.WIM 1 "Win7(x86)" "Windows 7 x86"
    Since the ImageX tool is deprecated in Windows 8 and has been replaced with DISM, can someone explain how to update the name and description with one easy command using DISM like we could with Imagex?

    It looks like this person had the same issue. Have you seen this
    link
    It talks about exporting an Index into a new WIM. Which, in a way, would be renaming it. It's really recreating it and you have to give it a name. But it seems to work.

    Hi Gazpan,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    If you no longer have your iOS device
    If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
    If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.

  • How to change the day and time seen on the calendar

    Hi.
    I am a bit confused as to how to restrict the day and time shown on a calendar.
    The ical help says this:
    To change the days of the week or the number of hours that appear in the main calendar view, choose iCal > Preferences, and make your choices from the Week and Day pop-up menus in the General pane. For example, you can choose to only see the hours from 9AM to 5PM on Monday through Friday.
    However, in my preferences pane, i don't have a either a week or day pop up menu that i can see, so i can't seem to restrict these fields. It's really frustrating as calendars are beginning at 1am!!!!
    Anybody got any ideas?
    Thanks
    David Tobin

    OK, but what did the help menu mean when it said..
    To view the day's, week's, or month's events, click the Day, Week, or Month button at the bottom of the iCal window.
    To change the days of the week or the number of hours that appear in the main calendar view, choose iCal > Preferences, and make your choices from the Week and Day pop-up menus in the General pane. For example, you can choose to only see the hours from 9AM to 5PM on Monday through Friday.
    To change which months are shown in the mini-month calendar (in the lower-left corner of the iCal window), click the arrows above the mini-month calendar. To see more than one month, drag the mini-month divider (the horizontal gray bar above the diamond) upward.
    To see events that are earlier or later in the day, use the scroll bar on the right side of the main calendar view.
    To change the range of time in the main calendar view that is not shaded (representing your "normal" day), choose iCal > Preferences. In the General pane, choose the times you want to appear in white (not shaded) from the "Day starts at" and "Day ends at" pop-up menus. All times outside that range are shaded.
    This suggests that you should be able to limit the hours actually shown on the calendar to a set range as opposed to just changing the shaded area.
    Have you any idea how to achieve this, as i don't see the popup menu suggested with...

  • How to print the Terms and Condition page ine the sap-script

    Hi experts,
                             i got the requirement that how to print the Terms and condition page in the script,i have the three pages, having the same main window, in the last of the main window(all three pages)  i have called the hard coded text(i.e so10 text), but when i am displaying the output  data get printed in the first page but i am getting the second page heading on the top of  the terms and condiions page.

    Hi,
    1. Create a new page by Name : LAST
    2. Identify the text element which will be the last element in the form in the debug mode.
    Mostly Ex: SUM, TOTAL, LAST etc.,
    3. the page linking should be
    First --> Next
    Next --> Next
    4. In the Text element identified in the step 3.
    Write the following code
    /: NEW PAGE  LAST
    /: INCLUDE the standard text created for the terms and conditions in SO10
    Check the syntax for the command but the logic will be the same.
    It should resolve your problem.
