It is possible that you are using OpenGL version of Java3D and stencil buffer (used by DecalGroup) fail to get correctly in choosePixelFormat. Java3D v1.3 release (coming out real soon) has fixed the problem by trying to get a pixel format with stencil buffer support, if fail it will fall back to use pixel format without it. DirectX version should work fine. - Kelvin ------------------- Java 3D Team Sun Microsystems Inc. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
