Hi,   First of all you shuld learn a bit about animation and quaternions (mathematical objects are used instead of axis-angle or Euler reprezentation of rotation to avoid gimbal lock and interpolation problems). You can find good stuffs on the net. I try to help you to start.   about quaternions http://www.delphi3d.net/articles/viewarticle.php?article=quaternions.htm http://www-courses.cs.uiuc.edu/~cs318/archive/spring2001/notes/06-3DTransforms.pdf gimbal lock http://www.anticz.com/eularqua.htm http://skal.planet-d.net/demo/matrixfaq.htm#Q33 http://cs.oregonstate.edu/~metoyer/CS419/rotations.pdf interpolation problem http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~cs378/cs378-lecture24-small.pdf http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~graphics/papers/wiley-motion.pdf    http://cs.oregonstate.edu/~metoyer/CS419/rotations.pdf    http://medialab.di.unipi.it/web/IUM/Waterloo/node148.html   Implementing Skin Meshes with DirectX 8 http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1835.asp   Driving bones with Morph Target Function Curves http://www.gameproducer.com/animeter/driving_bones_morph_functioncurves.pdf   I hope I could help you.       -----Original Message----- From: ext Botha Levente [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 7:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] Help with moving a man Hi all   I would want to ask you about creating an "object group" (ex. a man) and moving it. A don't know how to start. How should i create the scene graph for this type of "object" to move his hands, legs, head separately. If he walks his leg most simulate the real walking. (forgive me for my bad English)   Can anyone give me some advices ?   Thank you in advance!
