Ok Princec, thanks for the clarification.  I wasn't even aware of AgentFX!  Now I have another api to evaluate.

My question still stands though;  is there such a comparison somewhere?

Thanks much!

Hi,

Been away for a while but I thought I'd check in again.

Mkayi, did you get an answer to your original question?  I'm in much the same position as you.

To all, is there a page or thread that compares the big three (Xith3D, LWJGL and JME) side by side, feature by feature?  I'm not looking for a religeous flame war here - just a compare and contrast kind of thing.  I've found it difficult to bring all the disparate info on each of these together in such a way that I can understand the differences between them.

Thanks very much!

Hello folks,

I've been lurking here for a while now.  I've found some topics that cover this, but none with a thread of it's own or in  the depth I'm looking for.

So, the question is.  What are some good book titles that cover the basics for 3D?  I am a veteran Java programmer but my 3D knowledge is limited.  I have the gems books and some AI titles as well but I'm looking for something that will give me a good grounding in 3D concepts (what's a scenegraph?) and maybe explain some of the math.

I'm particularly interested in using Xith3D, which I understand models Java3D closely so a good title for Java3D might be appropriate.

Opinions on what to get or not to get are appreciated.  Please no flamewars if your favourite title is trashed - just say why you like it.

Thanks very much!

Edit: Yes, I could have put this in the 3D thread but I feel a little more clueless than that...
