I work with Java 3D in context of an Immersive Virtual Reality (CAVE) set up, and we have adopted Java 3D into the development because of it's portability. When an application uses the ConfiguredUniverse, this means that you can ultimately port it across the web, to any desktop configuration supported by Java 3D, to either OpenGL or DirectX configurations, wands, gloves, mouse, keyboard... the possibilities are endless. If Java 3D development becomes only OpenGL based, then this undermines the whole point of Java and Java 3D being portable.
I don't think that's what we ultimately want.

I would love to see Java 3D become only OpenGL-based, with more low-level access to OpenGL available if necessary. Think... OpenGL extensions. JOGL and JOAL could come on board too. --- I'd also like the people who were so very, very sure that Java 3D was dead and buried to explain the inner machinations at Sun behind this sinister development (:)). - Andrew =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
