Hoi Rudolf,   Code looks good.   You might try to change the values of the four colors you use. I recently found that certain color combinations result in dull colors. Depends also on the light sources of course. Especially 'ambient light', which defaults to (0.2, 0.2, 0.2) could be important

1) you need to set the back (far) clipping plane: that value will depend on how many units from the viewer you want to see. 2) you should look for the Background nod component, it has a way of setting an image as the background. Regards, Brett - Original Message - From: Bénédicte Le Gran
