Hello everyone. I'm having a little trouble with this RotationInterpolator.
I want the transformGroup tg to rotate around the z-axis. I thought this is
how it's done, but when I run it, it only rotates around the y-axis. I don't
know what I'm doing wrong please help.
Transform3D rotate = new Transform3D();
rotate.rotZ(1.0);
Vector3f tgTrans = new Vector3f(0.0f, -0.6f, 0.0f);
Transform3D tgtr = new Transform3D();
tgtr.setTranslation(tgTrans);
TransformGroup tg = new TransformGroup(tgtr);
tg.setCapability(TransformGroup.ALLOW_TRANSFORM_WRITE);
// other objects previously created.
tg.addChild(c1);
tg.addChild(c2);
tg.addChild(b1);
tg.addChild(b2);
tg.addChild(l1);
RotationInterpolator rotator = new RotationInterpolator(new Alpha(-1,
2000), tg, rotate, 0.0f, (float)(2 * Math.PI));
rotator.setSchedulingBounds(new BoundingSphere());
Also is this the better way to do animations, or is it better (performance
wise) to do it the old fashion way, with a timer to repaint or rerender
every x milliseconds?
