Well, is it the best answer? What else has been done to use 3D with an option for hardware acceleration? Croquet/Cobalt is still out there but doesn’t seem to get a lot of action so far as I can see.
There’s also the Rome/Cairo/Pango stuff for 2D - though according to the squeaksource.com/Rome repository there isn’t anything newer than ~jan 2007. And then there’s Nile/Gezira; can we actually use that?
We seem to be sitting on a pile of treasure and not doing anything with it. I’d love to find out I’m wrong and that there is a nice easy to load package that will amaze me.
