Code snippet: IndexedTriangleStripArray terrain = new IndexedTriangleStripArray (vCount, IndexedTriangleStripArray.COORDINATES, iCount, siCounts ); // Set up coordinates [snip] // set up indecies [snip] GeometryInfo gi = new GeometryInfo (terrain); NormalGenerator ng = new NormalGenerator(); ng.generateNormals (gi); gi.recomputeIndices(); I've verified that lighting is on by placing a few spheres around the terrain, and they light correctly. In addition, the terrain displays correctly and, in fact, even textures nicely (different bit of code.) Btw, for lighting-testing, I'm turning off textures, as that seems to interfere with lighting on my test-spheres. (Different question :) Any hints?

Code snippet: Snip. Nevermind, I think I got it. For the 2nd time this week, the secret seems to be to flail for a while, then ask. Less than an hour after hitting send, the answer appears! :D After I get my code cleaned up a bit, I'll post it as an example to other n00bs with similar problems. It had to do with getting the material & textureMode right (MODULATE). -- Please take off your pants or I won't read your e-mail.
