File Loader Archives

File loaders perform the job of taking a file or stream and turning that into a Java 3D scenegraph that you can use in your application. One of the most frequently asked questions is What is the difference between Java 3D and VRML?

The answer to this is that VRML is a file format. One of many, probably hundreds that describe a 3 Dimensional information. This text (or in some cases binary) needs to be translated into something that will show the graphics on screen and give it time based information.

This section of j3d.org is devoted to listing all of the loaders that we know about. If you have another loader that you've written, please email us with the details. We can either host the files here or link to your site directly. Screenshots and any additional information are encouraged. Please send URLs (preferred) or email archives and images as attachments.
