I've never seen that behavior, but I can imagine one. Isn't it possible that your application throws an uncaught runtime exception in the processStimulus method that causes the behavior thread to silently die ? That way, all the other threads continues to work, including the rendering and awt threads, *except* the particular one that have died. Just to make sure, you should wrap your behavior methods in try...catch clauses and log the eventual exceptions somewhere, so you can see what's happening.

Januar 2004 16:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [JAVA3D] ? Behaviors: processStimulus issue ? Has anyone ever experienced your simulation/animation fail or stop? and you couldn't restart it? My Java3D code periodically just stops animating and I can't seem to figure out the problem...it's as if the 'processStimulus' function just stops. Is there anything that could cause this and is there any remedy for this? Everything else seems to work..ie buttons, rotating 3d scene, etc...but updating it via processStimulus just does nothing...I have to restart the application to get it to work.
