C3DObject

Additional Info:

All objects have position, direction, and orientation of Y axis (up vector). These three vectors form the basis of rotation and position in the 3D world.  The directional vector is returned as a unit vector meaning it has the length of 1. When an object is first created it is assumed to have a directional vector of 0,0,1 or facing away from the viewer.  As you rotate your object the direction vector changes to represent to correct orientation of the object.
