Detail texture is not support in D3D,
>From README

=====================================================
Information on the Direct3D Implementation of Java 3D
=====================================================

  Unsupported Features
  --------------------
  The following features are currently unsupported in the Direct3D
  implementation of Java 3D:
    Line width
    Line antialiasing
    Point antialiasing
    PolygonAttributes backFaceNormalFlip
    RenderingAttributes ROP_XOR
    Stereo

  Texture features not support:
    Texture color table
    Base/Maximum Level
    Max/Minimum LOD
    LOD offset
    Detail Texture
    Sharpen Texture Function
    Filter4 Function
    Boundary width
    Boundary mode CLAMP_TO_EDGE & CLAMP_TO_BOUNDARY
    (will fall back to CLAMP)

>So to make it even better I could do a second point in the function of
>x=0.25 and y=16 and set detail texture level to 2?
