Java 3d - moveable grid by mouse
Hi, can anyone help?
I am trying to write a program in java that requires a 3D grid to be rotated about all three axes using the mouse - and the ability to scroll and pan.
Would anyone know how to go about this? It just needs to be a simple grid.
Thanks in advance....

Are you making the geometry of the 3d grid by yourself( i mean manually drawing lines in a 3d space) or importing contents from a .obj file created by Maya???
