We've updated the Java 3D FAQ to make things easier to find.
This is a posting of topics covered in the Java 3D FAQ. The answers
to these questions are kept at:
http://www.j3d.org/faq/
Please consult this list and the web site before asking questions on the
mailing list.
If there is a question that you think should be covered in the FAQ,
please send it to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We can't provide a "one-on-one" answering service for Java 3D questions, so
please do not e-mail us directly for that. It's best to ask questions on the
mailing list directly.
Thanks,
