hello, can please somebody help me getting a loaded wrl shape3d shaded. I generated a wrl file with blender and added manually appearance Appearance { texture ImageTexture { url "../textures/starship01.png" } } and so i got the texture on it :-) but there is no shading, so i searched for the shape3d which i also need for picking and tried this: Appearance appearance = ship_shape_.getAppearance(); Material material = new Material(); material.setLightingEnable(true); material.setSpecularColor(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f); appearance.setMaterial(material); but also no shading... :-( thanks heli =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
