Last semester, I didn't have time to look at all of the emails from the list. When I got back to it, I had over 2500 emails in my java3d folder, so this question may have been answered and I just don't know it. Anyway, I recently got a new computer from Dell (Pentium iii 1GHz) with Windows ME on it. I am working on a program that uses Alpha objects. When I run the program, the only values I get for the alpha objects are 0.0 and 1.0. When I run it at school (Sun Workstations running Solaris), it gets various values between 0.0 and 1.0, like it should. Any suggestions as to why it doesn't work on my new bad-ass computer at home?
