Current status of Parallax 2.0 is beta
Parallax 2.0 is completely new Java 3D SDK. We wanted to make it as simple as possible. If you know how to use three.js you can start quick, because Parallax implements almost all threejs API. But also you have a set of tools and libraries to write cross-platform 3D applications.
Parallax SDK allows you to write 3D application for the following platforms:
- Browsers (GWT) - ready
- Android - in the pipeline, should be ready in Parallax 2.0
- Desktop Window, Linus, OS X - future
We prepared Parallax SDK application template. Go to the parallax-application-template project and just follow the manual to make your first Parallax application.
Parallax 2.0 SDK will be in the maven central repository, but snapshots are located in the sonatype repo:
