Dev,
If you have a hard deadline of 12 days I'd say forget Java 3D. You'll
never work your way through the quirks and learn to use Java 3D that
quickly. If you do decide to use Java 3D I'd suggest you obtain a model
of a human body and then apply a simple scaling to it to adjust to the
size input by the customer. It's a cheap solution and certainly not
what your customer is looking for but what do they expect in 12 days!
