New to 3D pretty much, was wondering if you could explain to me a few concepts.

1. Is there anyway to set the position of an object without "moving it". I looked into object3d.translate() and setOrigin(), if someone could explain to me the difference between the two for me in laymens terms i would be quite happy. (the javaDOC explanation didnt really 'click' for me).

ill add more as i get further into my coding thanks for you time
