Re: [JAVA3D] TriangleArray, flat and dull shading

[Rudolf J.C. Buijs]

Hi Patrick:   Thanks for your help. Unfortunately your suggestion didn't change much in the shading so I'll fool around with it a little more ... I am thinking about recalculating surface normals or introducing vertix colors into the model to see if it helps.   Thanks - Rudolf ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick van Bergen To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 13, 1999 13:38 Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] TriangleArray, flat and dull shading Hoi Rudolf,   Code looks good.   You might try to change the values of the four colors you use. I recently found that certain color combinations result in dull colors. Depends also on the light sources of course. Especially 'ambient light', which defaults to (0.2, 0.2, 0.2) could be important.   If that doesn't help, I wouldn't know.   Greetings, Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: Rudolf J.C.

I think the data should be okay since the same file displays fine in another program.   My source code and screen prints can be found at www.sportsci.com/Rude/J3D   Thanks for your help!!   - Rudolf  [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]   =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".  For general help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "help".
