The situation has not changed. We are not planning to support 3D in the
software pipeline.

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.

================
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.

Shouldn't javaFX still do software rendering for 3D?.. in the same way
that glxgears still works even if you've not got any drivers installed?
Otherwise it will seriously limit the number of platforms it will work
on...
I'm not after high-end 3D effects, just some basic rotation...
Your card is not supported by prism. You can check if a system supports 3d
by using the isSupported method (can't remember where .. Maybe in
application). I know ensemble does this and instantiates a parallel camera
if 3d is not supported.
As for why it isn't supported, there are a lot of reasons that lead to a
card not being supported, usually it fails to meet one of our minimal
requirements.
