I was curious as to whether or not anyone knew of any fairly simple way to derive a point via mouseclick of the location on the surface of a "GeometryInfo" object. That is to say, given a rendered image of a cube, for example, created with GeometryInfo used to specify the outline of the cube, how could one derive the location on the surface of the cube via a mouseclick on its front surface...? Since the cube would be shown in 3d, a mouse click on the cube could actually be any point a the given x,y location, with any possible z. So, in essence, is there a Java3D supported way to derive the z value that coincides with the surface of the cube closest to the viewer (ie the surface actually clicked on, not the one(s) behind it)?
I think I may be overlooking something obvious, and any help would be appreciated.
