Thanks dude. Java World has very good articles. The demo works fine in my computer (at least it seams). I just wish there could be way to test the number of frame rates the demo is pulling. I mean some way I don’t have to code myself.

Yes, thank-you, there’s lot’s of information about Rendering Terrains with Java.

programing from the University of Stuttgart,

two Java World Tutorials, and Sun’s Java3d Fly Through Demo ( see below ) …
