Java3d and clojure?

[Heinz N. Gies]

Greetings my lispy friends,
since google only turned up very trivial expamels. Is there anyone who works with 3d in clojure? Any experiences wrappers or the like?

Regards,
Heinz

Hello Heinz,

I'm currently playing around with Penumbra, an OpenGL wrapper for Clojure. It cuts away some incidental  complexity in OpenGL, renames/binds to cleaner/simpler naming conventions and makes OpenGL feel more "functional programming-ish". See http://github.com/ztellman/penumbra to get started (the easiest way to start is to use Leiningen).

I've only done some tiny bits of 3d code, and I'm an OpenGL newbie to boot, but Penumbra feels really nice so far. Cool to be able to eval code in emacs and see the visuals change instantly. :)

Also check out the Clojure/Penumbra port of the Nehe opengl tutorials, that should give you enough examples to get started. http://github.com/swannodette/clj-nehe

FWIW, jMonkeyEngine is the best opensource game engine for Java that I'm aware of, it also uses lwjgl like penumbra.

A brief mention of using it with clojure can be found here:

Tanks, this sounds about what I was looking for - I think .)
