Can anyone help with these transparency problems? Bob Gray

It helps a lot, but now, with 3,168 quadArrays, I have major memory usage problems. Also, I think there is a transparency problem. At some orientations, I can clearly see a patch of solid green (the color of my inner most object) when I don't think I should be able to. I have tried coding this object by using an OrderedGroup which gives **major** transparency problems, even though the objects do not intersect each other but are "simply" embedded within one another. It does use less memory, but the transparency rendering is *so* bad that I can't do it this way. If anyone is interested, I have documented these problems with several jpeg images on a web page at http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/Java3D/Transparency/trans01.html I sure hope someone can explain a better approach to coding this object. Or at least explain way Java 3D transparency is so poor. (Yes, could be my coding.... So I am open to suggestions.) Does *anyone* have examples of multiple objects within one another with transparency in Java 3D that works correctly??!! (Without using SCREEN_DOOR!!) I'd like to see at least *one* example that works.
