Thank You John, that was a great hint. It took me all day but I figured it out. Without you and the JAVA3D mailing-list I would had not been able to figure this out. Man do I like JAVA3D!

Michael,
Take a look at "GeometryInfo", you can use it to generate your normals
automatically.

Hello JAVA3D world, my name is Michael I am a newbie. My first project is to port an OpenGL mechanical man to JAVA3D. I am making the torso and feet, which are octahedrons. I am using TriangleStripArray and QuadArray. My problem is generating normals for my lighting. I determine that the normals are needed for the lighting to work. How do I calculate the normals? Are there a class or method that will automatically generate the normals? Do I have to normalized the normals before they will work? How do I normalized the normals. Please help me? Thank You Michael
