With the second question answered, I think what I was looking for was Object3D#setOrigin. I basically was handed some prototypes by an intern and a lot of their examples involved moving the camera a lot, so I was looking for a better approach for my prototypes. Thanks for the help!

I'm kind of new to OpenGL and this framework. I've been having some fun settings things up and researching. I have some questions so far:

• I have been looking for an example of (re)positioning objects relative to the camera without moving the camera itself. Are there any?
• Is it safe to assume that when creating a world the camera by default is placed at 0,0,0?
