no it isn'T.
i have implemented an octree in an C++/OpenGL engine(or call it a library)
some time ago, which was also based on a scenegraph.
indeed you can do nearly everything with a scenegraph like in immediate
mode - just work only at one node..
btw. isn't java3d using an quadtree for culling the scenegraph ?
