Hello,
Recently Khronos released the first version of ANARI.
To make it short it's a basic API for 3D rendering.
Javafx has some simple 3D capabilities, and I believe there isn't a huge interest in the community to make a full 3d engine in javafx, it's not it's purpose.
But still, being able to do some 3D rendering is more and more useful for data visualisation.
Make a full 3D engine is a lot of work but implementing ANARI would not be so hard I believe and there are multiple benefits.
- the API exist in simple C-99, a raw translation to java would work.
- it is a fixed version : ANARI 1.0
- it hides all the boiler plate code of rendering, offering only simple scene configuration
- it offers enough capabilities for professional applications (which are not games)
What is the javafx dev team opinion on it ?
