The trick though is to display only a fixed number of objects at all times, rather have only a fixed set of positions that objects take. What is done in that example is that a set of matrix3D objects are allocated for each position(angle) and makes every object repeatedly “interpolate” from the initial matrix to the final matrix for every timer interval.

PS : Your layouts were very useful in learning 3-d layouts ! I have now done a couple of 3-d layouts of my own. Cheers !

Did you get any decent answers to the Animation?-question?

I’m trying to animate layout changes to children, when children are added and removed to and from a Group. So far I’ve experimented with setting the moveEffect of the Group’s children. But as you expect this works only in the cases when there are no changes to the Group during the playing Move effect.

Probably I’ll write a blog post when I get to a solution.
