thanks for your Comment Josh,
I tried to add my ViewPlatform on the TransformGroup of my robot. But then i
get an multipleparent exception. i solved that by detaching the BranchGroup
above the ViewPlatform and add that BranchGroup on the Transformgroup of the
robot. But then my aplet doesn't render any more because: robot.isLive()
returns false even when i recompile the robot.
Do you know how ik can solve that?
mvg Michel

You should add your ViewPlatform to a transform group on the robot.
For example:
WheelBaseTG — GeometryBG
— BodyTG — GeometryBG
— HeadTG — ViewPlatform — View
— GeometryBG
etc... where TG is TransformGroup and BG is BranchGroup
This way when the wheels move, the body, head and camera are also moved.
You can then change the HeadTG to pan/tilt your camera.
Hope that brief explanation helps.
