myView.setTransparencySortingPolicy(myView.TRANSPARENCY_SORT_GEOMETRY); I thought that this would fix most of my problems, but it didn't. I still get textured objects that jumps back and forth when I navigate through the model. Probably because the objects are either twisted together or intersecting. Are there other approaches to implement sorting of transparent textured objects? Should my objects be splitted into many smaller shapes so that they do not intersect/intertwine, or does the Java3D-renderer take care of this for each polygon? -- Joachim Bratteli - [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Programmer - IFE / OECD Halden Reactor Project Halden VR Centre - http://www.ife.no/vr/ =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
