In the current implementation of Java 3D it is not. Textures are associated
with Appearances and each Shape3D references a single Appearance.
Even if/when the 1.2 Shape3Ds become available that allow a Shape3D to have
child Shape3Ds (presumably each with their own reference to an Appearance) I
would not expect much of an improvement in performance over multiple
independent Shape3Ds - particularly if each has a unique texture.
I'd be interested to hear the rationale behind your performance concerns.

Subject: [JAVA3D] Urgent: Multiple, independant textures on a single
Shape3D
Well, I don't seem to get any answer on my question "Texturing, coloring
and IndexedTriangleArray" som I'll try a shorter question and see if
this works better.
Is it possible, in any way, to have different textures on different
Geometry components of a Shape3D object? A simple example would be a
cube that resides in a single Shape3D, having different textures applied
to each of the cubes six sides. That is, I don't want to handle the
faces separate for performance reasons.
Thanks in advance!
