3D Wire Scene is a 3D engine created for CSc 405 (Computer Graphics) at the University of Victoria. This program was created to show a bezier curve or b-spline curve rotated around the x or y axis in 3D. The curve can be visualized as a polygon mesh or as filled and shaded polygons.
This version also has controllable lighting. No external math or 3D libraries are used by this program.
The 3D Wire Scene program is initially setup to rotate the objects on the screen. Clicking and dragging the mouse button to the left or right will change the variables related to the current interaction mode. In most modes, The left, middle and right mouse buttons are mapped to x, y and z respectively. Shift left click will emulate the right mouse button on two button mice.
First, expand the zip file and open a terminal window and change your directory to the newly created "java3d" folder. The main class is called "wireScene" so the command "java wireScene" should start the program. Swing is required to run this file.
