SGI was behind in their version of Java 3D, which was at 1.1.3 .
They should be announcing/releasing a 1.2.1 version sometime in the next few
months.

> Hi,
>
> I wrote a demo in Java 3D using Java 1.3 on NT 4.0. Everything
> worked fine, the functionality that is written in the
> Java 3D API exists in the Java 3D package for NT.
> Since my final product has to run on SGI, Irix 6.5, I migrated the
> demo to SGI. Again, I used Java 1.3 for SGI.
> At this point I started to see that a lot of basic functionality
> that exists in the Java 3D package for NT, doesn't exist
> in Java 3D package for SGI.
> Most of the missing functionality are flags that allows you to read
> / write data from / in Java 3D objects while the
> application is running. I guess it has something relates to
> optimizations.
>
> For example:
> In the "RenderingAttributes" object API you have the flag :
> ALLOW_VISIBLE_WRITE.
> It exists on NT package but not on SGI.
>
> What shell I do (move to another 3D package... make some "work
> around"...)?
> Is SGI is going to come up with improved package?
>
> Thanks a lot in advance,
