Ponchoman3D – A third-person Jump ‘n’ Run written in Java3D.

By Christopher, February 23, 2010

Ponchoman3D is a Java3D Game which was developed by me and 7 other students as a project in computer graphics in 5. semester (bachlor). The core development was done in about 8 weeks. Some new features (enemies,bug fixes..) are provided by me and another student after the project finish.  The graphic modelling was done in Blender. This project is open source(GPL V3) and I am the maintainer of this project. If you interested to join our project, please contact me.

Interesting aspects:

The game has some very interesting aspects for Java3D developers:

  • collision detection
  • Third-person camera
  • Easy loading of complex models and animations from blender
  • resource saving handling of loaded models
