Hi everybody, We did look at jMonkeyEngine a year ago I think! And it seemed real nice, but we never got started integrating it into MSP. I don't remember if it was because we didn't know where to start. Would this be something we could discuss the possiblities of? I'd love to see MSP get a graphical overhaul!
