FX 3D : PhongMaterial xxxMap's Image questions

[Chien Yang]

Hi August,

      Thanks for the update. You are ahead of us in using this new API. 
:-) Can you please file JIRA on the issues and missing features that you 
have found.
We will investigate/study the JIRAs if you filed.

Thanks,
- Chien
