Hi Dean,
I think your problem probably comes from the lack
of lighting in your virtual world. If you don't have any lights then try
adding one. Suns Java3D tutorial chapter 6 covers lights pretty
good.
Here is an example for addition of basic ambient
lighting to BranchGroup root
/* add ambient lighting to the scene
*/
AmbientLight lightA = new
AmbientLight();
lightA.setInfluencingBounds(new
BoundingSphere());
root.addChild(lightA);
Check out other lights in the API as well,
point lighting is very cool.
Hope this helps,
Stewart.

Subject: [JAVA3D] Loading in
textures
I am trying to load in a VRML file or 3DS file that have
textures attached to it. So far I have been unsuccessfull in getting the
textures to show up in my virtual world. I don't know if I have to do
any additional work or if I rely on the loader to do all the necessary work to
allow the textures to show. My textures are located in the same
directory as my VRML/3DS file. And I have verified, in the VRML file,
that the specification for the texture file is correct. Can anyone help
me with this problem? Thanks very much for your time.
