Have you tried removeBranchGraph() to remove the root branch group
containing the animation from your Locale before removing the Canvas3D from
the frame? I'll bet that the rendering engine does not care whether or not
the canvas is attached to a container...

Subject: [JAVA3D] AWT or Swing, User Interface,Performance?

>Could anyone help me with the following: In my game I have an option user
>interface which has a small canvas3D in some of the GridBagLayout cells. It
>is just a simple animation of a rotating object - Just to make it look
>pretty. When the "Start Game" botton is pressed the real game starts by
>removing all components in the Frame and adding the canvas3D which
>represents the actual game.

>The problem:
>The java3D program which gives the simple animation in the options user

>after the start game button is pressed. When I remove the animation from
the
>options section and press start - the game runs fine.
>I've tried disposing the option user interface (with the animation) before

>One more thing, I'm currently using AWT, but would like to use Swing.
>Are there any differences in Java3D perfomance when comparing these two
>methods?
>I've had some problems integrating Swing with Java3D (the
>lightweight-heavyweight issue). I've read that JFrame is a heavy weight
>component and that most other J-components are lightweight(?)
>If I add lightweight components (JBottons,JTextFields etc.) to a
heavyweight
>JFrame and add the canvas3D to a new JFrame, will these two JFrames mix??
>Or do I have to convert lightweight components to heavyweight?
>
>
>Well, hope anyone can give me some ideas, any feedback is greatly
>appreciated.
