Hi, I thought I had it all figured out, but it turns out that I don't. The picking used in PickObject doesn't seem to work very well in our scenario. Picture a bunch of planes tiled on the surface of a sphere (each plane being a separate Shape3D). I need to click on those planes. I can't seem to

As far as I know, Nichimen Graphics' Mirai is supposed to be one of the most powerful modelers. Check it out. I am not sure if it can directly export to Java3D scenes, but it can definitely export to VRML file formats, which can be easily imported in Java3D. "Osborne, Richard N" wrote: > 3D Stud
