Thank you very much indeed.  I had at least thought in some part of my brain that Java3D would require at least an empty, or defaulting, Material() object.  No, no, you are quite correct.  You have the Appearance object first, and the Material and/or Texture ones after that.  Thanks!

-If Java3D programming is done without any JOGL classes or calls, say on Windows 10, which of OpenGL or DirectX would it default to?  [This is a question based upon java3D 1.5.2 experience].
