Hey Dan
traversers are really only used for scene-wide functions, and it is unlikely
that a scenario would arise where you want to apply the same material to the
entire scene of your view... ;)
i see the reason why you created this class for your 3ds file, however, you
can easily access and reset the materials you need without this by using the
mateiralLibrary property on the objectcontainer produced by the 3ds parser:
3dsObject.mateirialLibrary.getMateiral("myMatName").material = new
BitmapMaterial(myBitmap);
soemthing like that should do the trick, or refer to the Basic_LoadModel
example in the examples folder to see an example of the material being set
on a 3ds file after loading.
cheers
