Your problem comes down to how any particular load chooses to implement
the loading process. In some cases the loader will make Java3D nodes
equivalent to the file format's nodes, in other cases they don't. At
least in Xj3D we only make Java3D equivalents of renderable items. Since
an interpolator is not renderable, you don't have access to them from a
J3d loader perspective. The match between Java3D and VRML is very
tenuous at best and there's a lot of hacking and workarounds we have to
do to make things look semi-reasonable in this system.
