Thanks Scott for helping me out. As the files are large I have put them at this website: http://www.cee.hw.ac.uk/~ceetm2/Java3D/
You will find: (1) chrysler.3ds This is the 3DS file that I downloaded. There were no textures (images) at that site just this 3DS file. I am able to view this 3DS file in the CAD Viewer without any problems. But when it comes to loading in the Java3D scene it seems to be asking for some textures, which I am not sure what. (2) chrysler.wrl This is the VRML file that I exported from the CAD Viewer. I am able to load this file without any problems into my Java3D scene. This VRML file obtained from the 3DS file doesnt seem to have any textures. So, I am not sure why the 3DS Loader is asking for textures.
