Ben,
What would your recommendation be? Look into the OpenGL binding instead?
The bottom line is: what is the best way to do 3D under Java? Or is this currently more
trouble than its worth?
I'm about to stake my newfound business on how I do 3D on Java so I'm a little
reluctant to go ahead with these concerns. Should I be worried? If I find bugs in
Java3D
in the future, are you saying Sun won't fix them?
Why does the new OpenGL binding release have an effect on Java3D? Lastly,
is Java3D in any way easier to use than OpenGL?
Thanks,
Gili
