Gouraud Shading + 3D Modelling?

I need to write an application that requires extensive 3D manipulation of
Gouraud-shaded objects and has to have a user-friendly interface. From
what I can see, I need to use the Sunview canvases to get the necessary
buttons and panels.
The problem is the graphics package. From what I can see, I have two options:
1) Suncore
+ 3D primitives
+ Gouraud shading
- 3D primitives primitive ...
- does not interface well with Sunview:
anything requiring Gouraud shading runs
out of memory
- buggy, rumoured Sun will drop support of
suncore in coming releases
2) SunPHIGS
+ excellent 3D primitives
+ decent interface with Sunview
- NO Gouraud shading :-( :-( :-(
Are there any other options? Have I overlooked something? Please reply
by E-MAIL and I will summarise in two weeks time.
