MObject3d

MObject3d is a base object from which other important objects are derived (e.g. MOEntity, MOCamera, MOText).

It allows basic operations like translation/rotation, parent/child linking, etc.

All its methods can be called from the derived object:

camera->setPosition(MVector3(0,0,0));

This works because [[MOCamera]] is derived from MObject3d which has the method setPosition().

Notice the derived objects has the O in the name for "Object3d" to suggest their base class (e.g. MOEntity).

Position

Position simply tells where the object is in space coordinate (X, Y and Z). MVector3 is used to generate specific coordinate:

MVector3 pos = MVector3(10,10,10); //pos is a point with coordinate 10,10,10
camera->setPosition(pos); //a camera object is now set to the coordinates 10,10,10
player->setPosition(MVector3(50,50,50)); //the player is set explicitly to position 50,50,50
MVector3 point = camera->getPosition(); //get the position of the camera object and stores it in "point".
