Materials make change the appearance of a whole shape, but sometimes even the shiniest
objects can seem dull. By adding texture you can produce more interesting effects like
marbling or wrapping a two-dimensional image around your object.
The TextureLoader class enables you to load an image to use as a texture. The dimensions
of your image must be powers of two, for example 128 pixels by 256. When you load the
texture you can also specify how you want to use the image. For example, RGB to use the
color of the image or LUMINANCE to see the image in black and white.
After the texture is loaded, you can change the TextureAttributes to say whether you want
the image to replace the object underneath or modulate the underlying color. You can also
apply it as a decal or blend the image with the color of your choice.
If you are using a simple object like a sphere then you will also have to enable texturing
by setting the "primitive flags". These can be set to Primitive.GENERATE_NORMALS +
Primitive.GENERATE_TEXTURE_COORDS when you create the object.
In case this is starting to sound a bit complicated, here is an example. You can
experiment with the texture settings in this example and compare the results. You can
download the picture I used from http://www.java3d.org/Arizona.jpg or you can substitute
a picture of your own.
