I put together a tutorial a while back that covers some basic game-oriented J3d - it's not quite the same but you should be able to adapt the navigation behaviour from that fairly easily.

Now I'm no Java3D expert but I have not been able to find such a behavior either in the API or publically available code and this really surprises me. I believe I want a ViewPlatformAWTBehavior as the modifications should occur on the view side. OrbitBehavior does not seem to work because it rotates around the "point of interest", not the viewer, and I cannot see how to update the point of interest dynamically. MouseRotate modifies the scene-side and so I don't think it does what I want. Have I overlooked something obvious?
