Try this guide. I can't blame you for not wanting to use blend2java as there is almost no documentation or tutorials.
Question
Can anyone please give me some advice on loading a blender model file into java3D without using blend2java, it doesn't work.
i do have a few java3D loaders for .3ds and .MS3D.
Thanks.
EDIT: java3d is out dated and not used. Try using jmonkeyengine 3.0 if you want to develop 3D games, I just felt as though I should but this here to make this question somewhat useful.
