Hi Bob, Such an editor does exist, take a look at java3d.netbeans.org.
This site has 3 tools, J3dFly, J3dEditor and an netbeans module which integrates J3dEditor with Netbeans. The editor can be run in the mode you describe where you visually build a scene graph, it can also be attached to any Java3D application at runtime and will display the scene graph for the app. The editor is designed as an extensible framework, so you can add your own node editors and your own nodes that extend Java3D nodes. Full source is available in the CVS repository on the web site. It also has (alpha) features for editing Spline Interpolators visually.....
