Well, guys, I'm at it again.  I'm trying my hand at something new...this time it's the HUD.  My buttons are being obscured by the environment...have a look.  Here's my code:

Code:

hud = new HUD(canvas3d.getCanvas(), this.getOperationScheduler());
reset = new Button(72, 20, "Reset");
reset.setUserObject("reset");
reset.addButtonListener(this);
hud.addWidget(reset, 100, 100);
env.addHUD(hud, this.getInputManager());

Hmm... Does this still happen when you disable the Fog?

As a matter of fact, yes.

How (and when) do you add the rest of the scene to the environment?

[kukanani]

Well, after adding the HUD, I do this:

Code:

probeTransform = new Transform3D(0f, 4f, 0f);
probe2TG = new TransformGroup( probeTransform );
objects1bg.addChild(probe2TG);
objects1bg.addChild(exodusModel.load("base", this.getAnimator()));
probe2TG.addChild(exodusModel.load(probe.getModelName(),
this.getAnimator()));

then I add the fogs and lights, and finally i add the BranchGroups to the environment.  Actually, that brings me to something else.  I just updated, and I found that the addBranchGraph() method how requires a RenderPassConfig argument.  What should I pass to it?

Wait a minute...I'm using addPerspectiveBranch() now, and now the problem has fixed itself.  So has the HUD button.  Strange...oh well.

Well, I removed those methods from SceneGraph/Xith3DEnvironment for a reason . There might have been other strange things with them. But now it's fixed and that's great.
