It would definitely work with spheres since you would have normal
information. I am not sure if single points can be lit.

You could also change the color of the points as they move away from the
viewer to make them appear darker.

Subject: [JAVA3D] more PointArray questions

I have a point array displayed - it amounts to a 3d scatterplot.  It
looks great when rotating, but when it's still it loses all depth cues.

Is it possible to use a directional light to have points farther from
the viewer rendered with less light to add a cue?  Or would the points
need to be actual spheres or something?
