Thanks for the email Shawn.
I saw some of that thread just as I joined the list. It seems that Sun
finally fixed their problems with the web-archive service (finally!), so
I'll do some poking about.
I was under the impression that someone did some serious looking at this
problem (which came down to automatic matrix classification during
setTransform) and it turned out not to be a problem (for them) (e.g.
<http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0010&L=java3d-interest&P=R13
581>. Perhaps I'm unclear when classification takes place.
It seems to me this is a very serious problem with Java3D if there is no
reasonable work-around. I'd be quite happy tagging matrices (since we know
what characteristics they have because we created them) and letting Java3D
use that hinting for significantly increased performance.
Best,
Joe Kiniry
