Hi Louai,

There are a number of things you want to consider. In my opinion, if you
want to get something done quickly with nice interface and alot of
features, J3d is very good. Additionally, Java application is also very
robust. But if you are doing realtime animation, the trad off would be the
speed and the garbage collection problems. 

I can't give you any hard benchmark comparison because there's alot of
gains and tradeoff (besides the fact that I don't know). Personally, J3d
speed is so slow on my p133 machine and I am really considering other
alternatives eventhough it may takes longer, more work and less
portable.
