hi Franck, try to use a loader for your 3DS objects (search on the web for loader + 3DS or max). The loader convert the 3DS into a Java3D scene object that you can insert under a BranchGroup or TransformGroup.
The final result of the parsing is a tree structure that represent your 3DS model and you can go get the shape3D object by doing a test at each node of the tree. You have to pass all the nodes of the tree structure. Test Example: if((object) instanceof Shape3D)) Then when you have the shape3D you can construct your morph behavior. When you use a morph behavior you have to be sure that all you geometry object have the same number of vertices, or it throw an error. Dont know if it gone a help you. Best luck!
