This is a known issue with JOGL (which is how AOI uses OpenGL) and Java 1.5. It should be resolved in the Java 1.5 release 4 developer preview 5.

I wondered if anyone has had this weird issue using Art Of Illusion (Java 3D Modeler).

- Run the app. Open the preferences screen. It shows up and then disappears almost right away.

I'm using a Powerbook running 10.4 and have found a way around the problem. If you have the preferences set to use openGL, it will do this. If openGL is disabled, it won't. To ensure the setting is correct, locate the preferences file (aoiprefs) in your home directory (~/.aoiprefs), from a terminal. (I can't figure out how to get to it otherwise.)

The property entry is -

useOpenGL

Switch it to true or false to change behavior.

When set to true, AOI uses jogl for its 3d views. Anyone else experience this?

Small plug - If you've never tried AOI, its really a great app. Peter Eastman is the original author and has been steadily improving it.

Thanks,
