Yes Lee, Java 3D by specs requires images that are powers of two. As it was explained to me the TextureLoader does this for us (assuming you use it and don't load the textures yourself). None of our odd shaped textures give a GeForce, TNT, Matrox or software rendering any trouble - it's only the Voodoo 3 that corrupts the textures (much better now with the 1.06 drivers). - John "J.
