Alan, does the Xj3D community have any plans for a software renderer

Not at the moment. Its definately doable but I wonder about the footprint. Xj3D has not been designed to be a small applet. So if its just an ease of install issue then Xj3D could go that way.

One difficult aspect would be we require Java 1.4. Most of the applet renderers I've seen have kept to 1.1 to increase the number of people who could run it.
