How to create a Sphere (3D) in JavaFX?

A sphere is defined as the set of points that are all at the same distance r from a given point in a 3D space. This distance r is the radius of the sphere and the given point is the center of the sphere.

In JavaFX, a sphere is represented by the javafx.scene.shape.Sphere class. This class contains a property named radius. This property represents the radius of the cylinder, you can set the value to this property using the setRadius() method.

To create a 3D Box you need to −

• Instantiate this class.

• Set the required properties using the setter methods or, bypassing them as arguments to the constructor.

• Add the created node (shape) to the Group object.

Example

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.PerspectiveCamera;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.scene.paint.PhongMaterial;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.shape.CullFace;
import javafx.scene.shape.DrawMode;
import javafx.scene.shape.Sphere;
public class DrawingSphere extends Application {
   public void start(Stage stage) {
      //Drawing a sphere
      Sphere sphere = new Sphere();
      //Setting the properties of the Box(cube)
      sphere.setRadius(140.0);
      //Setting other properties
      sphere.setCullFace(CullFace.BACK);
      sphere.setDrawMode(DrawMode.FILL);
      PhongMaterial material = new PhongMaterial();
      material.setDiffuseColor(Color.BROWN);
      sphere.setMaterial(material);
      //Translating
      sphere.setTranslateX(300.0);
      sphere.setTranslateY(150.0);
      sphere.setTranslateZ(150.0);
      //Setting the perspective camera
      PerspectiveCamera cam = new PerspectiveCamera();
      cam.setTranslateX(-50);
      cam.setTranslateY(25);
      cam.setTranslateZ(0);
      //Setting the Scene
      Group root = new Group(sphere);
      Scene scene = new Scene(root, 595, 300, Color.BEIGE);
      scene.setCamera(cam);
      stage.setTitle("Drawing A Sphere");
      stage.setScene(scene);
      stage.show();
   }
   public static void main(String args[]){
      launch(args);
   }
}
