Why not use Java instead of Microsoft stuff then it would run on

Java doesn’t really run on anything, and we’re only just getting close
to a full working free software implementation.
Java runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris and has been full, free
and working for years.
For 3D, some framework that sits on OpenGL would be even better (or
use
OpenGL directly).
Java 3D will use OpenGL or DirectX. That's one way it runs on
anything ;-)
Please note: I am an unpaid Java evangelist and have no connection
