Thanks Will for the help with that. It makes sense now.

Ooops,

I am getting the same problem with AseTest, which I managed to post in a different thread.
Hopefully someone will find it.

I had no trouble with the multiple texture stuff.... not sure what went wrong there.

I have been trying the Ase Loader tutorial (Chp 7)
(this is specifically related to CrudeTank.java)
I get the following exception when I run it:

Exception in thread "main" com.xith3d.scenegraph.IllegalSceneGraphOperation: Ill
egal attempt to set the parent of this Node (name: '', com.xith3d.scenegraph.Tra
nsformGroup@26d4f1) as it already has a parent (existing parent name: 'Root', co
m.xith3d.scenegraph.TransformGroup@1662dc8) and this would violate the directed
acyclic graph constraint of the scenegraph.
       at com.xith3d.scenegraph.Node.setParent(Node.java:274)
       at com.xith3d.scenegraph.Group.addChild(Group.java:96)
       at CrudeTank.loadGeom(CrudeTank.java:102)
       at CrudeTank.<init>(CrudeTank.java:64)
       at MeshWorks.<init>(MeshWorks.java:85)
       at MeshWorks.main(MeshWorks.java:68)


I haven't changed anything in CrudeTank.java, though I am running it from my own main (MeshWorks.java) rather than the tutorial one. I also tried using the given main
(AseTest.java) with the same result.

I tried the google thing and came up with nothing.

I am not sure if I missed something along the way or what
Maybe the tutorial was written for an older version, and there is an incapatibility with the latest one I downloaded?

Anyways any help you can give me would be much appreciated :)

ps: had fun with the rest of the tutorial, Great Job!

Cheers,
Ian
