Hello, and welcome once more to a voxelent tutorial. In this tutorial we explore the concept of camera landmarks. Landmarks are features that simplify our life when we work in 3D environments. Instead of having to hard code and remember positions where our camera needs to be, we can save the position and orientation of...

Creating a Scene We can create a scene by simply writing: var scene = new vxlScene(); This creates a new empty scene. The vxlScene constructor does not
