let me know if I am wrong here
but Java3d does not do any orthographic picking, just parallel
if you wanted to do orthographic picking
you would need to implement your own methods

that would entail transforming your screen coordinate point (use the canvas
getPixelLocationInImagePlate
                                                        then the canvas
getImagePlate toVworld

and then use your direction vector(for orthographic, it is usually the z axis)
and get a point really farout in the scene

then, go through your objects and do line intersects with bounding volumes or
geometries
