A hack will the only solution. Or wait for Java3D 1.2. J3D 1.2 will have
support for Offscreen rendering. In that case, you can render to an off
screen buffer and simply keep copying the buffer contents into you child
window on each frame update. Will be slower, but will work.

If a JInternalFrame can't hold a Canvas3D, how can a Java3D scene be placed
in a child window in an MDI (i.e., a window within a window)? Can it?
