Shout3D™ 1.0 - QuickStart Tutorial

Pick an applet, any applet...

Shout3D does not come with just one applet. It comes with many applets that behave differently. The simplest applet, the one Shout3DWizard puts in your web page by default, is called the Shout3DApplet. All it does is render 3D scenes.

Other applets, like the ExamineApplet and WalkApplet, let you click and drag within the applet's perimeter to alter your view of the scene. And still other applets have custom features for specific demos, games, or applications.

The Shout3DWizard lets you choose between different applets to use in your web page.

The final demo uses the ExamineApplet, which includes an interface for tumbling, or examining, the objects in the 3D scene. To change your demo to use the ExamineApplet:

  • Scroll down in the options window of the Shout3DWizard by dragging the scroll bar on the right.
  • Click the box to the right of the label "Applet type" in the "World" section.
  • This brings up a file chooser with lots of .java and .class files. Select the file ExamineApplet.class and click "open." The text "ExamineApplet.class" will appear in the previously empty box.
  • Now click "Preview" one last time...
