Currently, Java 3D only takes advantage of 3D texture mapping on
Solaris systems. On win32, the OpenGL version of the Java 3D dll is
compiled with the Microsoft OpenGL header files, which do not define
the 3D texture mapping extension. We will look into ways to provide
support in a subesequent version. Depending on what Microsoft does, we
may or may not be able to take advantage of OpenGL 1.2 (which includes
3D texture mapping) or 3D texture mapping extensions in 1.1. Other
alternatives include emulating 3D texture mapping by using 2D texture
mapping slices. We will explore this for our next version of Java 3D
(J3D 1.2).
