GeometryArray: cannot directly access data in BY_REFERENCE mode

I m loading *.obj file to my scene. After loading i want to save this scene using j3dfly. But this exception occurs. Any solution to this?

you can convert the geometry to another wrapper if BY_REFERENCE doesn`t work for you. This code from java.net furum -

  /**
   * convert Shape3D's geometryArrays  using GeometryInfo. 
   * @param shp - the Shape3D target
   * @param indexed - creates a indexed GeometryArray
   * @param compact - compact, if indexed.
   * @param byRef - create a BY_REFERENCE geometry
   * @param interleaved -  create a INTERLEAVED geometry
   * @param useCoordIndexOnly - force USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY in indexed Geometries
   * @param nio - Use NIO buffers
   */

Thanks for your reply. But my problem is with j3fly.

In this paragraph giving exception:

	if ((vertexFormat & GeometryArray.COORDINATES)!=0 ) {
	    float[] points = new float[ vertexCount*3 ];
	    ((GeometryArray)node).getCoordinates( 0, points );//This line giving exception

	    writeFloatArray( out, points );
	}

I dont know how to solve that. If anyone used j3fly and encounter this exception please help.

Warm Greetings,

You need the .obj file loader, MilkShape 3D is a nice one from chumbalumsoft.ch. The program can import the .obj file then save it to a .ms3d file (unmodified) and then load the .ms3d file into java using the MilkShape3dLoader class.

Check out the web site, or look up the authoring tool such as Studio 3d Max and find the "Studio max 3d Loader" to download and put that in your library section so your IDE compiler detects it.

The Loader acts as a translator which transforms the content of a file, such as MilkShape3D and transforms it into Primitive object types like Box, Cone, etc. and then loads the artwork into the Scenegraph as a "scene" file into a javax.media.j3d.BranchGroup object.

I suggest MilkShape3D which can load in FBX format from AutoDesk Maya 2010 and AutoDesk Studio 3DS Max 2010, I have tested on those recently.

Cheers,

Try googling it.
