[JAVA3D] ncsa 3DS loader support of surface normals

[Patrick van Bergen]

Hello,   I want to load 3D Studio objects into my scene. I've tried the 3 loaders that were mentioned in http://www.billday.com/Java3DArchive/. Import3DS only provides the separate shapes, and I need a combination of shapes.   Load3DS looks good. Loading is fine. But the objects do not show up in the scene. I can't understand why.   3DS Loader from NCSA does very well. Only the lights that illuminate the other objects in the scene do not light the 3DS objects I load. No shading is applied. I find it strange (that word again!) that normals weren't computed.   The 3D Studio file was created with Rhino's export function.   Any way to solve this?   Greetings, Patrick.
