Hello,

One of my top-most group nodes is a TransformGroup that is
used for non-uniform z-scaling. When the z-scale changes
I'm experiencing darkening of all my objects.
Uniform scaling does not show this problem.

There are no headlights and it does not seem to matter
whether I add the lights below or above the scaling TG.
I'm using JDK 1.3.1 / J3D 1.2.1_04 OGL on windows 2000.

Could this have something to do with not properly scaling the normals?
Is this a known problem and does anyone know of a workaround?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Robert

btw: also tried this with JDK1.4.1 beta and J3D1.3 OGL. Here the
problem is exaggerated, a z-scale of 10 makes the scene almost black.
