These two examples show how you can clone animated objects with min3D. The first example makes a shallow copy of the object. All the vertices, normals and texture coordinates are shared between all the objects. Only the first object transforms all the data for each keyframe. The rest of the objects are updated automatically.
Another option [...]

I just updated min3D for Android with an MD2 file importer.  MD2 is a format that was developed by ID Software and originally used for Quake II and other games. MD2 can be used for static models but the main reason for using it is animation.
Min3D is now able to import 3 different filetypes:

Wavefront OBJ [...]

Another update to the min3D framework for Android. A new parser that allows you to load in 3DS files (used by the Autodesk 3ds Max 3D modeling, animation and rendering software).
In the previous tutorials (Loading 3D models with the min3D framework for Android and Loading multiple 3D objects from an Obj file (min3D for [...]

I just committed an update to min3D’s .obj file parser.  Yesterday’s tutorial showed how you can import an .obj file into min3D.
The latest commit adds support for multiple files in one .obj file. In this example, the car’s body and 4 wheels are separate objects.
This is the RendererActivity code that shows you how to get [...]

Min3D is a new 3D framework based on OpenGL ES for Android. It’s still in its early stages, but new stuff is getting added rapidly. If you have an Android phone you can download the demo .apk file and install it on your phone.
I started contributing to the framework by writing a parser for .obj [...]

Many people who downloaded and installed the plugin asked me if I could add the option to add frameworks and repositories.
I just uploaded a new version that enables you to do so. I added a dialog in the Eclipse Preferences window where you can select which frameworks you want to see in the context menu. [...]

In a previous post I talked about an easy deep cloning method I found and which I tweaked a little.
While I was crammed in the tube yesterday (sometimes the best ideas are born in the underground) I came up with an idea to simplify and generalise this even further. The problem with the current method [...]

This gave me a headache! This error occurred when I was trying to compile 38 separate ActionScript classes into SWF files:
OutOfMemory error:PermGen Space
If you search for this error you’ll find many blogposts written by utterly frustrated Java developers. It appears to be a dreaded error that is raised when deploying war files to web or [...]
