Add image to gray pre-render screen

[gafferuk]

Any one know how to add an image to the pre-render screen?
And possibly a graphical way to let the user know that the computer is generating the scene like a progress bar?

If nothing can be done ill settle to changing the screen black instead of gray if any one knows how?

Try adding this to your root BranchGroup:

new Background(new Color3f(0,0,0))
or (1,1,1) for white.  For a "loading" image - just create a single textured quad with your loading image.

Add this to your scene before loading - load everything and then hide the loading quad.

I can provide more code if requested.

Will.
