JavaFX 3D Hello World

To compile JavaFX with 3D features you have to get the early access version of the JDK8.

At the moment as far as I know there is only a windows support for the 3D features, but abuild for Mac and Linux will soon be released. (Luckily enough 3D support also works for a virtualized Windows running on Mac - this is how i got to the screeenshots.)

This blog entry is about a Scala version of the provided 3D examples. 

First, there is the class PhongMaterial, which defines some sort of "Phong shaded material". Basically you can create a material which can have a color or some texture.

This is a screenshot of the same program, different colors, with a bumpmap applied:

example using a bump map

Here is the code:

	package application;
	import javafx.application.Application;
	import javafx.event.EventHandler;
	import javafx.geometry.Point3D;
	import javafx.scene.Group;
	import javafx.scene.PerspectiveCamera;
	import javafx.scene.PointLight;
	import javafx.scene.Scene;
	import javafx.scene.image.Image;
	import javafx.scene.input.MouseEvent;
	import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
	import javafx.scene.paint.PhongMaterial;
	import javafx.scene.shape.Box;
	import javafx.scene.shape.Sphere;
	import javafx.stage.Stage;
	public class SphereAndBox extends Application {
	double anchorX, anchorY, anchorAngle;
	Image bumpMap = new Image(getClass().getResourceAsStream("panchayt-map.jpg"));
	@Override
	public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
	primaryStage.setTitle("SphereAndBox");
	System.out.println("@@@@@@@@@@@@@");
	PhongMaterial boxMaterial = new PhongMaterial();
	boxMaterial.setDiffuseColor(Color.GREEN);
	boxMaterial.setSpecularColor(Color.WHITESMOKE);
	// BOX
	Box box = new Box(400, 400, 400);
	box.setMaterial(boxMaterial);
	box.setTranslateX(250);
	box.setTranslateY(250);
	box.setTranslateZ(450);
	// Sphere
	PhongMaterial sphereMaterial = new PhongMaterial();
	sphereMaterial.setDiffuseColor(Color.WHITE);
	sphereMaterial.setSpecularColor(Color.LIGHTBLUE);
	sphereMaterial.setBumpMap(bumpMap);
	Sphere sphere = new Sphere(200);
	sphere.setMaterial(sphereMaterial);
	sphere.setTranslateX(250);
	sphere.setTranslateY(250);
	sphere.setTranslateZ(50);
	final Group parent = new Group(box, sphere);
	parent.setTranslateZ(500);
	parent.setRotationAxis(new Point3D(1, 1, 1));
	Group root = new Group(parent);
	Scene scene = new Scene(root, 500, 500, true);
	scene.setCamera(new PerspectiveCamera(false));
	scene.setOnMousePressed(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
	public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
	anchorX = event.getSceneX();
	anchorY = event.getSceneY();
	anchorAngle = parent.getRotate();
	}
	});
	scene.setOnMouseDragged(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
	public void handle(MouseEvent event) {
	parent.setRotate(anchorAngle + anchorX - event.getSceneX());
	}
	});
	PointLight pointLight = new PointLight(Color.ANTIQUEWHITE);
	pointLight.setTranslateX(15);
	pointLight.setTranslateY(-10);
	pointLight.setTranslateZ(-100);
	root.getChildren().add(pointLight);
	primaryStage.setScene(scene);
	primaryStage.show();
	}
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	System.setProperty("prism.dirtyopts", "false");
	launch(args);
	}
	}
