Nope. I guess it's not u who misses something, but rather ATI Rage128
which misses a lot of productivity. And if u only have tried it under
W2K.... U r lucky if u haven't yet, because currently even Java3D DX
doesn't work with default ATI Rage drivers shipped with the system.
Only after u install an updated version, will DX work (but not
OpenGL). BTW, until very recent (~Jan, 2000), Java3D OpenGL wasn't
hardware accelerated under Win9x as well. After i installed drivers
update, OpenGL finally worked, but now i got some nice rudiments from
time to time throughout all Windows. And no such problems
exist on my Creative Labs TNT card. Note, that under WinNT ATI
accelerates OpenGL just fine.
All the best,
vladimir
PS: whoever u r, avoid buying ATI Rage128 cards - u'd buy nothing but
another headache
