Hi everyone,
I'm new to JME and 3D graphics in general but I know my way around java and getting certifies this summer.
I've been really interested in 3D graphics for a while and JME. I tried playing with JME2 but could never get it to work.
I've given JME3 a shot. Followed the tutorial at http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/wiki/doku.php/jme3:setting_up_netbeans_and_jme3 and ofcourse that's just like adding any other java lib and it was done correctly as far as i've deduced. The JME config screen comes up when i follow the tutorial at http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/wiki/doku.php/jme3:beginner:hello_simpleapplication
There is a reference to plain_texture.j3md …Is that a file included in the JME3 jars. I've been getting the following after i select the display settings…

Like i said i'm only trying to learn this 3D stuff now. So any suggestion, pointers to resources advice anything at all.
Its definately the file that can't be found but the tut doesn/t say if i need to create it or what it is. so any ideas any one?
thanks in advance
