Can anyone recommend a Java 3D Book
Can anyone recommend a Java 3D Book. What I'm looking for is one that isn't too expensive below 30 ($40) and is quite uptodate with the new 3D API. Or is there a book that is coming out soon, which is said to be good.Thanks

I think everything important about Java 3D you can learn from the Sun Java 3D Tutorial (available on this page) and the rest (Sound, VirtualUniverse, View, ViewPlatform etc) you can learn from the documentation (it is not very difficult).
I looked for 3d book, there are not that many in bookstores, bought one "Ready-to-Run Java 3D" Wiley by Kirk Brown and Daniel Petersen.
It's friendly but not very good at explaining things. Tutorials here on the site is much more helpful with simple but very useful examples.
I wish I did not spend money on the book.
I bought a book, it was by Sun Press, called "Java3D: Jump Start-In" or something of that nature. It was a very helpful and informative book. It goes into much greater detail than the J3D tutorial does, and it's a fairly short read.
