Ok, I am using a SimpleUniverse.
I want to get the viewPlatform = vp = universe.getViewingPlatform();
I wnat to get the Transform = ViewTransform = vp.getViewPlatformTransform();
Now I want to add the Geometry to it, but I cant cause only BranchGroups can
be added.
I also tried setting the PlatformGeometry of the viewingPlatform and nothing
happens.
Should I go ahead and use VirtualUniverse.........blah.
