Hi Tyler

FWIW - in general I find bottom posting friendlier :-)

There have been many similar falure reports but 
I have never had a problem after

1) Installing a web-enabled Java distribution 
   I happen to use 1.4.1
2) then installing the Java 3D extensions

It seems as if the order of installation makes a difference

There is a slightly newer version @
http://www.vso.cape.com/~nhv/maps/3d/

The large 'details test' < not on on the older page > 
demonstrates a canned view from my current 3D mapserver 
testbed which can include arbritary vector overlays as returned 
from a standard mapserver query

Note the base texture can be anything < satelite photo etc > 
These examples use a dynamically created pseudo sun shaded 
elevation map
 
Alas this project is on hold as funding didn't materialize

Cheers

Norman
