[JAVA3D] GIF89A transparency ??

[Dan Hopkins]

Hi all,
    I just started playing with Java3D, and have gotten gif89a to be 100%
transparent.  But can get nothing in
between.  ie. the Alpha channel is either 100% transparent or 100% opaque.

here is the code:

  Appearance app = new Appearance();
    TextureAttributes tatt = new TextureAttributes();
    Transform3D trans = new Transform3D();
    trans.setScale(2.0);
    tatt.setTextureTransform(trans);
    app.setTextureAttributes(tatt);
    app.setTexture(tex);
    TransparencyAttributes ta = new TransparencyAttributes();
    ta.setTransparency(0.5f);
    ta.setTransparencyMode(TransparencyAttributes.BLEND);
    app.setTransparencyAttributes(ta);

    Shape3D cube = new ColorCube(cubeScale);

    cube.setAppearance(app);
    cube.getAppearance().setTexCoordGeneration( new TexCoordGeneration());


Any suggestions greatly apprecieted ThanX.

p.s.  this is on Win NT 4.0 SP-3
p.ps. any recomendations for good video cards for Java3D??
