please note there is a Java3D DirectX version too. To develop a application tied in both sides to Java3D and OpenGL when your client may use the DirectX version can bring you in a big headache ... Maybe a new high level feature, where the dirt work is done in the underlaying platform, solve it. The same kind of enhancents where asked before for programable shaders in the J3D 1.4.
