Hello,
I just joined in this forum for 2 reasons.
First because i really appreciate the JReality library. Its really amazing and in a couple of hours brings fantastic results. So let me thanks the team for that.
Second, appart form 3D, i am also interested in ruby and jruby and more experienced with these languages than java. So, the first thing i did is to convert some of your tutorials examples into jruby. I would be very pleased to share it on your forum if someone is interested. It could also attracked the ruby community to JReality. Can you tell in which topic can i post it?
Last, i am also interested in non-euclidean geometry examples but do not find any. Does something exist on the net ?

Thanks for the feedback. It's good to hear you find jReality useful.

Regarding Ruby: The closest we've come to Ruby, I think, is that I have played some with Groovy, which has many simillarities to Ruby (as I understand it). I intend to write a tutorial example showing this link but haven't yet done so.

So, it would be very nice to have your jruby examples included on our wiki or forum. Perhaps the best thing would be if you could first make a post to the forum thread Advanced Development (you'd be the first post there!) including one of the examples with directions on how to compile and run it (in case other libraries are needed, etc). Then we can see the best way to proceed.

Regarding the non-euclidean geometry tutorial: that's also been on my short list of missing tutorials. I hope to have a first version of this tutorial example within the next week in the svn repository.

Fine, i will post one example in the forum and patiently wait for your new tutorials.

The tutorial for the non-euclidean capabilities in jReality is now ready for testing. It could use much more extensive documentation but I'm not able to take the time to write it right now. You're welcome to post questions if things are not clear, but please don't use this forum thread; start a new one under "Programming Help".

You can access the documentation in the tutorial here.

Enjoy :)
