Greetings, It's my understanding that JavaFX does not provide software rendering fallback for SCENE_3D functionality when the GPU isn't on the whitelist/blacklist.
I asked this question in May 2012 and I wanted to check whether the situation had changed? Kevin's original response below. Regards, Adam. ================ > Shouldn't javaFX still do software rendering for 3D? Not currently (see the other response I just sent). We can consider providing some basic support for 3.0, but have not yet committed to do so. -- Kevin Adam Granger wrote: > I just checked Platform.isSupported(ConditionalFeature.SCENE3D), it > returns false.
