Author manipulate the pose of the object and the lighting

Hi,

I am a beginner for VRML. Since I have a urgent task to finish, I think
it would be faster to get answers by asking questions here than reading
books by myself.

My question is:
for VRML 2.0, How to manipulate the pose of the object and the
lighting. Also, How to take a snap shot of the scene?
Any hint is welcome.

Thank you very much.

What sort of manipulation of the pose are you looking for, if you want
an animated object, have fun! If you just want to rotate the object or
something I recommend using:

Transform
{
translation 1 2 3
rotation 0 1 0 1.5
children [
//You object here
]
}
you can have two transforms, on containing you light and one you
object to move the 2 independently.

The values in this field can also be updated dynamically by using
scripts with timers and interpolaters, have a quick look through the
VRML97 spec couldn't hurt either.

the PrtScn function on the keyboard is always good for taking a
screenshot into the windows clipboard...

Komplex objects are usally build by simpler object and chains of
Transform-Nodes. A Transform Node are responible for something like
movement, rotation, scale, rotation center and steer multiple other
objects.

There are 4 light sources in VRML: Pointlight, Spotlight, directionallight
and headlight. The headlight is similar to a light connected to the camera.
It may be needed to switch this headlight off (in the NavigationInfo node),
to get good lighting.
Lighting is influenced by the Material node, which has diffuse ("normal",
emissive ("glow") and specular ("glance") components.

Depends on browser/operation system....
