Can you please explain what True 3D means in terms of Low Level API ? Because with LWJGL I can use Low Level API to talk directly to my Video Card. As a game dev, I need every ounce of umph from the card I can get, and using a browser or any other kind of wrapper hasn't proven very efficient. I love LWJGL because of its simplicity. Anything extra I need, I am allowed to make on my own. Example, my own Game Engine.
And that is where I am at. So if your speaking about Nodes, I am aware there is a hierarchy to the JavaFX2 when setting up the GUI, but that is the only thing I knew existed. Could you please elaborate what makes JavaFX8 a True 3D Low Level interface API ? Because from the presentation, you have to go through two layers before you have to get to the OpenGL layer. Where as if I can use LWJGL, I can skip a level. If I am misinformed on something, please, explain. Because I am new to JavaFX.
