Add image to the 3D canvas in Java3d

I am working on a project where I have to show a visualization of various shapes on the canvas. Is there any way I can directly add .png/.jpg images on the canvas? I wish to see images in the scene.

Hi

Thank you for clarifying your original question. In this case, you have to create a polygon (a quad would be enough), set its texture and vertex coordinates, and use a texture. Look at Texture, TextureAttributes and GeometryArray.setTextureCoordinates().

Edit.: this example seems to be simple enough to show you how to do that:

Hi, the link seems to be broken. Do you have any other example/tutorial like this one. Thanks
