Description
Nodes represent the basis for all objects that may be attached to the layers in the scene. All objects that are types of nodes have the above properties and methods, allowing them to be placed in the scene and their position and rotation manipulated.
Node Examples
// Create two nodes, a light and camera, and set some basic properties for them.
this.theLight = new Light( "KeyLight" );
this.theCamera = new Camera( "MainCamera" );
// Attach the nodes to the scene
scene.layer.attach( this.theLight );
scene.layer.attach( this.theCamera );
// Set some properties.
this .theLight.position.x = 10;
this .theLight.position.y = 20;
