for speed I'd go for OpenGL ...problem is the api is a bit harder...not as
many things are built in as
with Java3D. Java3d though has great interface support (ie gui interface via
Swing or even AWT)....and Java3D is more portable.
Take a look at JOGL (Java3d and opengl)...maybe it will serve you
better...don't know much about it though.

Subject: [JAVA3D] api recommendations
Hey all,
I'd like to get some advice about what API I should
get involved with. I've been hearing several
recommendations on the irc channels to go w/ the
opengl api for java as opposed to java3d api. Any
thoughts? I've got to do some work involving thousands
of tetrahedrons to cover surface areas and be able to
rotate/flip the entire object. The interface will be
done in Java as portability is key.
Any good books that you could recommend to help out?
Will
