All this talk about an offscreen rendering space... The problem I see
is that Java3D is optimized using OpenGL hardware (for the OGL ver).
This means that Java3D sends the minimal information to the hardware
and lets the hardware handle the rendering. If you're running in
software emulation mode than maybe you could do it, but isn't OpenGL
what this whole shebang is all about? Using the hardware so that the
processor doesn't have to choke on all the rendering, much less all the
Java Bytecodes to TELL it to do the rendering? Well, there's my 1.5
cents worth. Let me know if and how I'm wrong. Thanks!
