Java 3D without OpenGL or Direct3D?

Hello,

I'd like to use Java 3D applications on my Windows 2000 notebook that
has not got a 3D graphic adapter.
Is it possible to get Java 3D run using software rendering without 3D
acceleration? This mode is possible in most of computer games so I
thought this might be possible with Java 3D, too.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Hello,

Indeed you need OpenGL or Direct3D, but no 3D adapter is needed since these
library provide software
processing of function that are not hardware accelerated. I personnaly use
Java3D/openGL on a laptop
bought in 1998 with little 2D acceleration and no 3D acceleration. It is
slow, but it works. Have fun with
Java 3D !
