I dunno...I like Celestia, Google Earth, many of the games in the repo, trying out different media players, Urban Terror, stuff. It depends.

Works fine.. looks very cool.
Currently looking for inspiring java-software to learn some java-coding myself, guess I found one.

Makehuman (http://www.makehuman.org/). It's geared more towards people that aren't really sure about making their own 3D character models, but it's a great starting point for customizing all of the features of a character.

The new Alpha supposedly supports things like hair, special rendering modes, an improved interface, better texture support, better lighting, etc.

It exports to OBJ format, and I think a few others. Works great with Blender.
