Zak,
To Apply a texture to a sphere, you have to set the primflags when you create
the sphere.
I don't know what all the flags mean, so I just turn them all on.
int primflags=0xFF;
Sphere sphere = new Sphere(0.5f, primflags, ap);
The AppearanceTest example hides this little problem by using a Tetrahedron
class that
doesn't need primflags.
When you create the texture you can set it to various things like RGB, RGBA,
LUMINANCE etc. and
you can set TextureAttributes to MODULATE if you want light to work.
TextureLoader loader = new TextureLoader("K:\\3d\\Arizona.jpg", "RGB",new
Container());
Texture texture = loader.getTexture();
texture.setBoundaryModeS(Texture.WRAP);
texture.setBoundaryModeT(Texture.WRAP);
texture.setBoundaryColor( new Color4f( 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f ) );
ap.setTexture(texture);
TextureAttributes texAttr = new TextureAttributes();
texAttr.setTextureMode(TextureAttributes.MODULATE);
//texAttr.setTextureBlendColor(new Color4f(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f));
//texAttr.setTextureMode(TextureAttributes.BLEND);
//texAttr.setTextureMode(TextureAttributes.DECAL);
ap.setTextureAttributes(texAttr);
There are a lot of options to set, and you just have to play around with them
until you
get something that looks OK. Different versions of java 3d and different
platforms
interpret textures diffently, so you have to experiment a bit!
