Great for learning the system

The book covers a great detail for scenegraph construction and using the necessary features like materials, lighting, behaviours and animation. Especially the chapter for behaviours is very helpful in creating interactivity with Java3D.

There is only one weakness - geometry creation. Whether you create it inside Java3D or load it from industrial 3D packages, I think the official Java3D tutorial does a better job.
