Hi Jon,
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this at this time. Rendering
into an offscreen buffer and giving that to Java 3D is the only solution
today. We are looking at ways to make it easier in Java 3D 1.2, but
having multiple API's rendering into hardware resources, and syncronizing
between them all is a very hard problem.
