Enhancements to 3D for JFX9?

[Herve Girod]

Hello,

As a newbie user of Java 3D, I have some suggestions in the back of my head
for Java 9, as for example:
- managing opacity (alpha) on 3D Node (the most important IMO)
- parallel lights
- managing far / near clip with parallel camera
- some more built-in 3D Shapes would be useful

I think that most, if not all, of these are already filed in JIRA.
