Pete,
then how do you load ArcInfo binaries into Java3D? I think going to j3d was
the initial problem.

I use NIMAMUSE (free at least to US citizens) to convert the DTED data to
ArcInfo Binary format. The result has the non-geometry information
stripped
off, and it loads VERY quickly because it's binary. Read it in, compute
normals, stripify it, add texture coordinates if you like, and you're done.
I
think it took me five lines of code (after I read the file, that is).
