I have also invested a fair bit of time and money learning Java 3D, and I
agree totally that scene graphs are the way to go. Java3D does seem to be
very well thought out like most of Sun's work - the advantage of a
professional and paid team of programmers I guess. But the problem I guess
is that
I have not heard that Java3D is dead. After 4
years of work I sure hope it isn't.
But if worse comes to worse it would not be
horrendous to write a renderer for the Java3D scene graph, especially if you are
porting a specific app. I am convinced scene graphs are the way to build

Porting it will not be an issue. In fact, we've planned from Day 1 to
shift it to a formal OpenGL bin
So this looks like an appropriate point to toss out a bit of marketing:
Xj3D has it's own internal scenegraph layer for OpenGL that sits between
X3D/VRML97 and OpenGL calls. Far less complex than Java3D, but it's a
good framework to start with. If people are interested we can always
break it out a

You might have looked at the wrong one. The Java Open AL (JOAL) is lead
by "athomas". I have a strong feeling that that is Athomas Goldberg. If
so, the API is in _very_ good hands.

My issue with JOGL is that it's NOT backed by Sun. My understanding of

Search Sun's website though and there is no mention of JOGL (for ANY
platform). Search the web for JOGL and there are some obsolete (1997)
references that I assume are something completely different.

And Steve Jobs said something to effect "I know, I know, we're aware of it".
This is all second hand information of course, and gives little insight in

To get a definite 3x3 rotation matrix you need exactly three
