Is the image scaled up or down ? Scaling down a non-mipmaped, non-NICEST-MagFilter texture produces ugly blocks. > it might have 256 colors? depends on the fileformat. > //load an image > tk = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() > tk.getImage(filename) (No MediaTracker to load it fully ?) Let's test if the file is loaded properly. Have you tried appling the image to a JButton ? ImageIcon II = new ImageIcon(tk.getImage(filename)); JButton JB = new JButton (II); (... show the JButton .... ) How does it look ? > //create the texture (...) the important lines are missing: how do you create the ImageComponent2D/Texture ? Try this: import com.sun.j3d.utils.image.* ... URL location = (... filename to URL (File.toURL() ?)....); TextureLoader TexLoader = new TextureLoader(location, TextureLoader.GENERATE_MIPMAP, new JButton()); Texture T = TexLoader.getTexture(); T.setMinFilter (T.NICEST); //* T.setMagFilter (T.NICEST); //* ... insert the other lines you have posted to create the app ... app.setTexture (T); if you don't want to use the TextureLoader, at least try the two lines with * on the texture. It really improves the look. cu Gilson Laurent =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
