Hi Florin:
Somehow I missed the Java 3D part of the installation. There are two
choices, DirectX and OpenGL. The DirectX couldn't find a suitable driver on
my system, so I installed the OpenGL (presumably software-only) solution. I
got your application running, but it's a bit slow. When I first ran it, I
couldn't tell if it was rendering or just hung up.
I got the 'car' model drawing; it looks nice, though. I like the 'hide' part
ability. I tried adding a part to the model and that worked fine, though
again a bit too slow for me to use interactively. I also couldn't figure out
how to delete a part once added, but maybe that capability hasn't been added
yet.
Also, I never saw a difference in the color when I chose 'metal', 'plastic'
or 'rubber'. Not sure what I did wrong there.
