How to make 3D with Processing core library

I’m using the Processing library in a simple Java project and I tried to make 3D but I got errors, this is my code :

package fr.ayfri;
import processing.core.PApplet;
import processing.core.PConstants;

public class Main extends PApplet {

	public void settings() {
		size(1600, 900, PConstants.P3D); // <--- P3D this tells Processing to work with 3D
	}
	
	public void draw() {
		background(140, 190, 255);
	}
	
    public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	    String[] processingArgs = { "Main" };
	    Main main = new Main();
	    PApplet.runSketch(processingArgs, main);
		
    }
}

But when I run the code I get this error :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/jogamp/opengl/GLCapabilitiesImmutable
	at processing.opengl.PGraphicsOpenGL.createPGL(PGraphicsOpenGL.java:712)

So I just don’t know how to make this works ?

Hi Ayfri, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

For me your program works in IntelliJ Idea.

Have you added to the project the Processing core libraries (the .jar files)?

In Idea you can add them as Libraries (to the current project) or Global Libraries (if you plan to use them in multiple projects).

Then you need to add them as Dependencies, clicking the + sign and Add Library (to choose libraries added in the previous step above).

Also, you don’t only need the core but a few other files. These are the ones needed in Linux:


Oops not sure why I had pde.jar in that project. Not needed.

What IDE are you using?

Hello,

I am using Eclipse Neon with W10.

This (your code with modifications) works:

Code
//package fr.ayfri;
import processing.core.PApplet;
import processing.core.PConstants;

public class MyProcessingSketch extends PApplet {

	public void settings() {
		size(200, 200, PConstants.P3D); // <--- P3D this tells Processing to work with 3D
		//textSize(64);	// Did not like it here!
	}
	
	public void draw() {
		background(140, 190, 255);
		textSize(64);	
		textAlign(CENTER, CENTER);
		text(":)", width/2, height/2 - 10);
	}
	
    public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	    String[] processingArgs = { "Main" };
	    MyProcessingSketch main = new MyProcessingSketch();
	    PApplet.runSketch(processingArgs, main);	
    }
}

:)

sorry, just realized Hamoid sorted this for you, ill leave this post on though in case its useful to you…

I added this reference code recently. I run it in eclipse. Maybe theres some jars youre missing? If I remember it was just the minim ones you probably dont need unless you want to work with sound.

The framework sets up a JavaFX window and a 3D Processing window. The JavaFX window gives you some way to add controls for your processing sketch so you may not want that. This file is the main processing setup…

I’m using Intellij IDEA Ultimate so I can do what you said !

Still no luck on my end. I tried a bunch of different jdks, but still getting this error. Seems like P2D and P3D both generate this. I am using Processing 4 with OpenJDK 17.

 A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Process finished with exit code 134 (interrupted by signal 6: SIGABRT)`

Here’s the Sketch:

import processing.core.PApplet;
import processing.core.PConstants;

public class Sketch3 extends PApplet {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PApplet.main(new String[] {Sketch3.class.getName()});
    }

    @Override
    public void settings() {
        size(500, 500, PConstants.P3D);
    }


    @Override
    public void setup() {

    }

    @Override
    public void draw() {

    }

    @Override
    public void mousePressed() {

    }

    @Override
    public void keyPressed() {

    }
}

I ran into the same problem as you @matthewortega. I ended up using the JDK bundled with processing in IntelliJ and then it worked for me
