Mobile 3D Graphics articles from IBM

Related to some of my previous presentations which included sections on Java ME’s Mobile 3D Graphics (M3G) and Java SE’s Java 3D API:

IBM devWorks is publishing a series of articles by Claus Höfele on “3D graphics for Java mobile devices“. Part 1 is on M3G‘s immediate mode (you provide instructions to the graphics engine and they are carried out and the results rendered immediately). If you’re interested in a standard API for fast 3D graphics on a wide range of mobile phones and handhelds, check out Claus’ article.

Expect a future installment on M3G’s retained mode (enables you to use scene graphs to build up content, carry out transformations, etc. before rendering at a later time).
