I imagine that in this case, there is just not enough demand for java-
based 3D plotting. Most 3D graphics apps are pretty demanding of
compute speed, and that is not one of Java's strong points, though it is
certainly sufficient for some applications.

I have been toying with the idea of writing a program to generate a
Pov-Ray program then use that to created a shaded surface, where you
can control the lighting. I will have to look into whether it is
possible to generate a smooth surface from sample points created of a
material that is semi-transparent.
