Chances are fewer people would use the API if you had to pay for it than if you didn't, that wasn't my point. I was more suggesting that it is a problem with the fact that it is developed commercially, not it's price. A project developed independently and freely by a group of developers will keep running until interest in the project dwindles. A project developed commercially by a company will keep running while it is seen to be a good investment, be that while there is still interest in it or not. Not knocking Java3D at all, I like most that I have seen with it. However, since I haven't yet invested huge amounts of time or money I think it would be wise to know that the solution you pick is not only good, but one that will stay good as time goes by.
