Hi The code I posted earlier works fine if your texture contains all of the transparency information (alpha channel) ie, it's a transparent texture. In that case you want the object to be 100% transparent, and use texture attributes replace, Then what ever the texture has on it, is what happens o

It is possible to do have label with java3D, but I am not sure with Swing tooltip. I think a way to work it out: 1) create your shapes with ENABLE_PICK_REPORTING; 2) create a behavior to show a Text2D object (the label) when your shape is mouse clicked; 3) manage a behavior to hide that label

I guess you have to write a new version of  OrbitBehavior becouse it not locks the longitude or latitude. A version as you wish, with a max and min latidude and max and min longitude would a fine behavior...   Alessandro - Original Message - From: Franck Calzada To: [EMAIL

Hi, Transparency in 3D is hard task. So, be welcome ;-)   Tip 1) is cool. Set your transparency half-way between 0 and 1. You will find the best value at runtime, later. Tip 2)   how did build your external blob ? I guess it came from somewhere, so you have the data to break it up, if need
