I agree, Java3D is great. > I am sure in time Java3D for the Mac will come. And I am sure Sun will > continue development on Java3D. We based our VisAD visualization library on Java3D, and there are now many visualization systems based on VisAD that are mature and are being deployed. The fact that Java3D is not supported on Mac is really HURTING those deployments. We made a commitment to the platform independence and great design of Java and Java3D, and now we are being hurt because Steve Jobs and Scott McNealy care more about their childish pissing contest than they do about their users. > Simply because these things will take some time, does not mean Java3D is > dead. I do not complain about the slowdown in Java3D development, because Sun deserves some slack given the economic downturn. But failure to deploy Java3D on all major platforms is an ego problem, not a resource problem. > I for one am committed to Java and Java3D. Me too.
