jPCT is a solution for browser based games and applications as well as for OpenGL accelerated ones. It offers a software (Java 1.1 compatible, will work even on the MS-VM) and a hardware renderer (Java 1.4 or higher required). It integrates nicely into Swing/AWT but may also render into a native OpenGL window.

Engine features

• loads 3DS, MD2, ASC and XML files
• support for octrees and portal rendering
• keyframe animations (taken from a MD2-file or self defined)
• vertex lighting with an unlimited number of light sources
• ambient, diffuse and specular lighting
• build-in primitives like cones, cubes, spheres...
• spherical environment mapping
• collision detection (ray-polygon, sphere-polygon and ellipsoid-polygon)
• rotation interpolation and alignment for better camera control
• generates vertex and face normals automatically
• geometry based picking
• transparency effects
• billboarding

Features of the hardware renderer (Java 1.4 or higher required)

• single pass multi texturing using up to 4 texture stages (if hardware supports it)
• multi pass texturing using an unlimited number of texture layers
• advanced fog and transparency settings
• uses triangle strips and vertex arrays
• support for Swing/AWT integration
• support for fullscreen, native OpenGL window
• supports RGB-scaling
• uses the LWJGL

Features of the software renderer (Java 1.1 or higher required)

• fast perspective correct texture-mapping with scanline subdivision
• 32 bit W-Buffering
• 2x and 1.5x oversampling and 0.5x undersampling
• texel filtering (faked bilinear filtering)
• environmental mapped bump mapping
• sub-pixel, sub-texel and sub-color accuracy
• span-based hidden surface removal algorithm
• supports RGB-scaling and overbright lighting
