Hi
Martin, so if i use the Transform3D.setEuler, then i will be able to combine all 3
rotations (x,y and z) into i matrix? this is important as i would like to feed this
matrix into the keyNavigator.. so far i only sent in the translation, that's why i
cannot turn and look at the onjects when i am navigating in the scene..
Thanks....

If you multiply seperate rotations, the second rotation will use the
resulting object of the first rotation.
If however you want to do several rotations at once, e.g. roll/pitch/yaw for
an aircraft, you should use the
Transform3D.setEuler(Vector3d) method.
Hope this helps,
