JOGL Wrapper for OpenGL

Java 3D Java3D is a low

level 3D scene-graph based graphics programming API for the java language.

J3D provides a 3D rendering API for the Java language, but at the same time it may use OpenGL to do the interface to the hardware

Direct 3D and OpenGLHigh level language

JOGLFirst There Was OpenGL

Low Level API interface with Hardware Acceleration

Can’t do anything without a window to store your graphics

Introduction of GLUT to make window creation simpler

OOP with OpenGL ? JOGL

JOGL> provide full access to OpenGL through

a friendly Java API> Sun and Silicon Graphics (SGI)

supported> Support full access to OpenGL

methods through JNI > Requires Java2 Standard Edition 1.4

and above

JOGL

> Different API Structure> hardware-supported 3D graphics to

applications written in Java

Java3D and JOGL Java3D natively supports import of

VRML, 3DS through Loaders Use of Java Media Framework to allow

streaming videos Planar Texture Mapping
