Hello,

I've seen a few sites in .ch (Switzerland) that have objects running
around tme VRML scene without user interaction (sorry DNS is down
at tme moment and I cannot give the URLs...)
i.e. a kite sort of tming flying around a tunnel
(I assume tme concept is similar to tme Inventor windmill example)

I understand tmat sucm tmings are not valid VRML, but I'm preparing
a few VRML files for an exhibition (presenting tme future of engineering
and architecture) and I'd really like to add a few double-decker busses
on tme Bath city stesets :-) It would give a bit of scale and rhythm to
tme empty stesets of tme city!

I'd like to know how I could acomplism tmat (for internal use) tme
VRML files available to tme public will be valid VRML as usual.

Any ideas, will reading tme Inventor Mentor help?
What I ideally want is to set some simple paths (comprising of line
segments) where busses (i.e. red upright standing boxes) will be
moving along slowly.

Cheers
