Purpose

The SoShuttle node is derived from SoTranslation, applying a translation to the current transformation.

Using engines connected to the realTime global field, the Translation value animates over time between two fixed translations, achieving a shuttling effect. The motion period can be adjusted by modifying the Speed field. The current translation at any time is accessible in the Translation field, inherited from SoTranslation.
