Turned Texture Lighting off. No luck. Perhaps, though, now the problem is with where I am positioned in viewing the object.... the cube is 1unit*1unit*1unit. I used the setNominalViewingTransform method, and the documentation says that this causes the view to be 2.41 units (they say meters) away from 0,0,0. Is this right? wrong? Should I move the view? If so, what params should I pass into the Vector3f that I use to modify the view?
