Transform

An action that edits the properties of a 3D node, such as position or rotation, is called a Transformation.

Transform Node

• Transform Node is a node used to change the 3D shape. They are typically Bone and Controller. In our tool, we will be dealing with Bones.
• Transform Nodes have the Position, Rotation, and Scale properties.
• When a Transform Node is deformed, it changes its skinned Mesh.

Mesh Node

• A Mesh Node is a shell that shows the shape of a 3D object. It is made up of many polygons that combine to form a 3D object.
• Mesh Nodes also have Position, Rotation, and Scale properties.
