summary
Using an appearance object that references appropriate classes, the appearance of a geometry
object can be further refined and enhanced (Java 3D explorer, 2006). Important classes are
the attribute classes, material class and texture related classes.
The Sharing of appearance objects and the corresponding NodeComponent objects
are possible and should be carried out for faster rendering. The NodeComponent objects
discussed in this chapter are summarized in Figure 28.
