Re: [JAVA3D] the object disappear if i set a material.

Hehe... Nope. I may regret taking such a strong stance, but while a face normal is *generally* calculated to be perpendicular to the plane formed by 3 points, it is *not* mandatory. Normals and windings have nothing to do with each other except when considering the standard face normals calcula

Hi David > It's a common misconception that back face culling is done using normals. Aehm back face culling is most easly done by using the normals you actually multiply the normal.z with the eye.z and if it's < 0 than you can remove the surface. This only works with concave objects. > Backface

Re: [JAVA3D] the object disappear if i set a material.

It's a common misconception that back face culling is done using normals. Backface culling is based on the "winding" of the vertices. I think the confusion comes when you auto build your normals and because the vertices are wound the wrong way, the normal is opposite of what you are expecting. Bu
