Thanks Justin I personally don't have any experience with VRML as I have only been out of Uni a year and have mainly focused on Java. Looking at Java3D for about 5 months now! My colleague is quite good with VRML and may well look into using XJ3D but for the project brief we have We will still need to use Java. Firstly we have to perfect Java3D etc! It's a lot more work than I ever imagined! So that is where I am personally focused.
Getting back to the post topic I was wondering if there was an example of using the requiredCapBitsMap field! and how to set up the Map object that I assume is required. Also if Behaviours are implmented in VRML such as picking, how are they handeled by the VRML97Loader?
