Yeah, these were the spline classes I was referring to in my email. I read through the API documentation, but there is very little explanation of the variables in the KeyFrames. So it's quite difficult to understand how to construct one of these spline interpolators. If someone has some sample code using any of these objects, I'd love to take a look at it to get some understanding of what's going on.
Thanks again, Nick Hi! In Java3D is some interpolators for spline animation: KBRotPosScaleSplinePathInterpolator KBSplinePathInterpolator RotPosScaleTCBSplinePathInterpolator TCBSplinePathInterpolator Try to use. Read API documentation. Those realy work! Vladimir A.
