Hello!
I'm using two cylinders (A and B) with a high of 3.0 which are connected to
each other (I'm using the Cylinder-class). Now, I want to rotate the second
cylinder (B). Of course, without any translation the cylinder B will be
rotated in the center - which is not what I want to have. Instead, the
rotation point should be in + (see figure).
--------
| |
| A |
---+----
| |
| B |

The following source doesn't help - do you know, why? In this source arm1
corresponds to cylinder A and arm2 to cylinder B.
Transform3D transformArm = new Transform3D();
Transform3D rotateArm = new Transform3D();
rotateArm.rotX(-Math.PI/2.0d);
Transform3D translate1Arm = new Transform3D();
translate1Arm.set(new Vector3f(0.0f, 1.5f, 0.0f));
Transform3D translate2Arm = new Transform3D();
translate2Arm.set(new Vector3f(0.0f, -1.5f, 0.0f));
transformArm.set(translate1Arm);
transformArm.mul(rotateArm);
transformArm.mul(translate2Arm);
TransformGroup transformArm2TG = new
TransformGroup(transformArm);
transformArm2TG.addChild(arm2);
translateArm2TG.addChild(transformArm2TG);
translateArm1TG.addChild(translateArm2TG);
translateArm1TG.addChild(arm1);
transGroupRobby.addChild(translateArm1TG);
Thanks,
Michael.
