Lucy,
As far as I know, it _is_ true... That is not to say that you could not
recursively traverse the scenegraph yourself and render each node... Not
really my cup of tea though! Presumably the logic was that if you're using a
scenegraph and would like J3D to traverse it for you, you may as well use
retained mode (?).
Good luck! Intriguing problem, what are you trying to achieve?

Subject: [java3d] rendering a scene graph in immediate mode
I was just testing Java3D immediate mode.
It seems that in immediate mode you can only render shapes and geometry (?!)
I couldn't find any way to traverse and render a whole j3d scene graph.
Someone, please tell me this isn't true....
You can do this:
while(true) {
gc.clear();
gc.draw( cube ); // cube is a geometry or shape node
canvas.renderField(Canvas3DStats.FIELD_ALL);
canvas.swap();
}
But I really want to do something like this:
while(true) {
gc.clear();
gc.draw( bgRoot ); // where bgRoot is a BranchGroup
canvas.renderField(Canvas3DStats.FIELD_ALL);
canvas.swap();
}
thanks
