The geometry under the dcs node has already been transformer with another
manipulation.
...
objDCS->addChild( geode );
dcs->addChild( objDCS );
objDCS->setTrans( -0.0f, -11.0f, 6.0f );
...

cout << objCenter[0] <<" "<< objCenter[1] <<" "<< objCenter[2] <<endl;
This is before I attempt to compute the bounding sphere. The geometry
model under objDCS has already been added. If I cout the objCenter
pfVec3 I obtain below, I get 0, 0, 0. I know this isn't right, so that's
why I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something incorrectly. The man
pages for pfNode indicate that calculating the bounding sphere will take
into account the children and leaf nodes. I'm using Performer 2.2.7 under
IRIX 6.5.7.
I'll try manually calling pfuTravCalcBBox and averaging box.min and
box.max. That should give the same value (or what the value should be) as
the center point of the bounding sphere for the dcs node, correct?
