Couple of pics from my Java3D terrain program (done for my dissertation)

Hazy hills...

Very nice! Kinda looks like Stellarium in the night shot. What sort of FPS do you get with Java for games?

Thanks! You can actually get pretty decent framerates in J3D, but you really have to work for them sometimes when doing large meshes (like terrain). It does have some nice built-in optimisations though, I got a big boost just from the automatic frustrum culling by splitting the terrain down into patches. I wouldn't really recommend using Java3D though, the reference material online is pretty woeful.
