Just add ViewPlatform to a TrasformGroup, and here u go. To move the
VP around the scene u need either to handle AWTEvents or describe
Java3D behavior WakeupOnAWTEvent. U can also use KeyNavigator (or smth
like that) class in util package, but it used to (or still) have some
bugs (incorrect positioning during rotation). As to the second way,
just create an array of X,Z coordinates (positions) and read
consequently the array on frame elapsed events. There are certainly
more advanced means using less points and approximation, but the one i
pointed out is the simplest one to my mind.
