Detailed Description

Move an element from the server by changing only its transformation.

One box stands still in the centre. Four boxes go round a square about it, a step every 200 ms, each moved by SetTransMatrix(), which streams only the new matrix. The client moves the objects it already has and rebuilds no geometry.
