How to embed 3D models in web page using JAVA?

843799

Hello

I'm doing a project at University to create a virtual tour of a village. I am creating the buildings in MAYA using polygon planes and cubes and then exporting to VRML.

I plan to embed each individual model into a separate web page. Then when the user clicks on a location in a 2D map they will be taken to the web page containing that building.

However, I can't work out how to embed these 3D models into web pages using JAVA. Can anyone help me with this, please?

Also, I've been told to use JAVA 3D to interact with the project but am unclear as to how JAVA 3D would be used in this project - aqny ideas/suggestions welcome!

If you use Java-plugin, you can embed Java3D in a web page.

Here is the URL(http://www.geovista.psu.edu/products/demos/LorenzAttractor3D/index.html) which used Java3D.

I hope this helps.

I do not see why you should not just put links to vrml files. Its much easier than creating an entire java program, and also much easier to navigate.
