Yes, it is possible. Sun's tutorial on Java3D under http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/collateral/ is a good starting place to learn Java3D. See in particular the class IndexedTriangleArray, which describes a geometry using triangles that you can use to create a Shape3D object.

Hi, I had a similar problem in understanding this. Well, for this case what I figured out was that , by default the axis of rotation for an object is y-axis in Java3D , right! and in this case you want to rotate around the z-axis, so the meaning I thought was that (1.0,0.0,0.0,-PI/2) rotate x-axis

Assuming that you will be using RotationInterpolator you will want to specify a Transform3D for the 3rd argument of the constructor that maps the default local coordinate system for your door to a new coordinate system that lines up the Y axis with the door hinge and rotates the door in the approp
