If they are the same shape then you could use a SharedGroup. You can then have each shape with its own transform with a link to the shared group underneath it. The transform can both move and scale the object. That will considerably reduce the memory you are using.

I'm new to java3D and I want to create an application which will show 2000 identical in appearance sphere objects with various scales and positions. I have managed to see my 2K spheres, but my application consumes almost 160MB of memory. How can I make my application use significantly less memory and run faster? Is the amount of memory consumed normal for so many objects ?
