Programming Paradigm
Scene Graph Programming Model
- A tree-like hierarchy of graphic nodes and groups
Rendering Modes
- Immediate Mode, Retained Mode, Compiled-Retained Mode
Extensibility
- Java 3D does not have built-in support for: primitive geometry (box, cone, cylinder, sphere), specialized geometry (elevation grid, extrusion), etc.
- All of these can be implemented on top of Java 3D
