A scene node is a node in the hierarchical scene graph. Every scene node
may have children, which are other scene nodes. Children move relative
the their parents position. If the parent of a node is not visible, its
children won't be visible, too. In this way, it is for example easily
possible to attach a light to a moving car or to place a walking
character on a moving platform on a moving ship.
The SceneManager is also able to load 3d mesh files of different
formats. Take a look at getMesh() to find out what formats are
supported. If these formats are not enough, use
