Cameras
Cameras provide different views of the 3D world. A 3D cast member can have many cameras. Each sprite that uses
the cast member can display a different camera view of the 3D world.

Groups
Groups are collections of models and other objects that are formally associated with one another. These associations
can be created in your 3D modeling software or with script. Each 3D cast member has a default group called world,
which is the cast member.
Groups simplify the rotation and translation of models by letting all members of a group move together with a single
command. A group has a name, a transform, and a parent, and can also have children. It has no other properties.
Use the following cast member methods and properties to perform basic group operations:
