I'd guess J3d would require a built in software render to achieve this,
which
would kick in when ever an unsupported feature is called. But I'm
guessing this will become less of an issue as most current cards/drivers
have a lot better minimum of the basic 3d features supported in
j3d1.2.1.
Quality of render may still be an issue but I think supported features
will be less of a problem.... of course until 1.3 comes out with its
additional feature list. :)
I'd still like to be able to run j3d on Palm OS or simular so I could
work on stuff while sitting on the bus! :)
