Great Article Andrew. I'm wondering (I'm a little confused on this matter) if one can create Java 3D scenes, similar to your checkerboard scene in a Swing container such as a JPanel. Or does Java 3D lean more toward using AWT? Does your book offer detail on Swing with Java 3D (if it is indeed possible)?

    Java 3D's top-level drawing panel, Canvas3D, is a heavyweight component, so you have to be a little bit careful how you integrate it with Swing, but it's doable. In fact, all my examples put the Canvas3D object inside a JPanel.



    The Loader3D example in Chapter 16 uses a more complicated Swing interface alongside Canvas3D.
