Not
sure why that doesn't work, but try using a segment instead of a ray, with
values from your player, down far enough you know you'll get something back... I
would think a pick segment might be faster than a ray as well
(??)

Subject: [JAVA3D] How
long is a pickray?
I created my application to implement
gravity. I'm sending a pickray directly down from the
viewplatform. If the ray hits the ground, and the ground is below the
"feet" you "fall" down the y axis.
The problem is that when the avatar is far from
any pickable objects, the ray fails to pick anything and I'm left floating in
midair. When I float over an object that is closer, the whole thing
works and I fall with proper acceleration and everything.
I thought a pickray was infinite, why doesn't it
work? Is this a bounds issue? What node would need a bigger
bounding box?
Thanks
