[JAVA3D] Java2 to Java3D Conversion

[T Phillips]

I have noticed that there are a fair number of Java2 applets that have coding in x, y, and z-dimensions using traditional non-Java3D code.  Is there any particular "algorithm" that can or should be simply and easily applied to traditional Java code (x,y,z) to convert to it to Java3D-specific code??  Or does one just start essentially from scratch with Java3D code?
