An alternative is still Balloon3D, which you can install from  
Squeakmap. It's a graphics engine with software rendering, OpenGL and  
DirectX support. I just tried on my Mac, and it worked fine,  
including HW acceleration. Unfortunately, it seems nobody is actively  
developing it at the moment. IMHO it could still be evolved into a  
very nice cross-platform 3D graphics solution for Squeak, but it  
would take some dedication ...
