Functional Details

This module prepares a specified object for being moved (translated) a specified amount along the x, y, and z axes.

Note: A Transform object containing the specified transformation matrix is inserted at the root of the object. This transform is applied during rendering.

input	specifies the object to be translated.
translation	is the translation vector. No translation occurs for the default value of [0 0 0]. A specification of [0 1 0] (to take one example) will move the specified object one unit in the y-direction.
