Hello again, With the help of the List (thanks!) I've verified that I have the latest, greatest Java3D. This rules out the most obvious reason for the problems I'm having, so now I would like to hear if these problems are known to other users and perhaps also Sun: Attenuation doesn't work for me for PointLights and SpotLights. The attenuation parameters have no effect whatsoever. I even tried setting them all to 0 to provoke a divide-by-0 exception, but nothing happened. The JDC Bug Parade lists this as a fixed/closed bug. I'm also not finding the spread angle and concentration parameters on SpotLight to be effective. Instead, there is a sharp cutoff where my entire scene is flooded at angles above 90 degrees and dark at below 90 degrees spread angle. The third problem is that when I move my lights around using a RotationInterpolator, I have correct illumination for about half a second, but then the lights start moving and the lighted elements of the scene go dark. I didn't find a problem like this mentioned in the Bug Parade. Any insight from you smart people would be appreciated. -Carl- =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
