<h1>[name]</h1>
<p class="desc">
This is the base class for most objects in three.js and provides a set of properties and methods
for manipulating objects in 3D space.<br /><br />
Note that this can be used for grouping objects via the [page:.add]( object ) method
which adds the object as a child, however it is better to use [page:Group] for this.
</p>
<h2>Constructor</h2>
<h3>[name]()</h3>
<p>
The constructor takes no arguments.
</p>
<h2>Properties</h2>
<h3>[property:Boolean castShadow]</h3>
<p>Whether the object gets rendered into shadow map. Default is *false*.</p>
<h3>[property:Object3D children]</h3>
<p>Array with object's children. See [page:Group] for info on manually grouping objects.</p>
<h3>[property:Material customDepthMaterial]</h3>
<p>
Custom depth material to be used when rendering to the depth map. Can only be used in context of meshes.
When shadow-casting with a [page:DirectionalLight] or [page:SpotLight], if you are (a) modifying vertex positions in the vertex shader,
(b) using a displacement map, (c) using an alpha map with alphaTest, or (d) using a transparent texture with alphaTest,
you must specify a customDepthMaterial for proper shadows. Default is *undefined*.
</p>
<h3>[property:Material customDistanceMaterial]</h3>
<p>
Same as [page:.customDepthMaterial customDepthMaterial], but used with [page:PointLight]. Default is *undefined*.
</p>
<h3>[property:Boolean frustumCulled]</h3>
<p>
When this is set, it checks every frame if the object is in the frustum of the camera before rendering the object.
Otherwise the object gets rendered every frame even if it isn't visible. Default is *true*.
</p>
<h3>[property:Integer id]</h3>
<p>readonly – Unique number for this object instance.</p>
<h3>[property:Boolean isObject3D]</h3>
<p>
Used to check whether this or derived classes are Object3Ds. Default is *true*.<br /><br />
You should not change this, as it is used internally for optimisation.
</p>
<h3>[property:Layers layers]</h3>
<p>
The layer membership of the object. The object is only visible if it has at least one
layer in common with the [page:Camera] in use.
</p>
<h3>[property:Matrix4 matrix]</h3>
<p>The local transform matrix.</p>
<h3>[property:Boolean matrixAutoUpdate]</h3>
<p>
When this is set, it calculates the matrix of position, (rotation or quaternion) and
scale every frame and also recalculates the matrixWorld property. Default is [page:Object3D.DefaultMatrixAutoUpdate] (true).
</p>
<h3>[property:Matrix4 matrixWorld]</h3>
<p>
The global transform of the object. If the Object3D has no parent, then it's identical to
the local transform [page:.matrix].
</p>
<h3>[property:Boolean matrixWorldNeedsUpdate]</h3>
<p>
When this is set, it calculates the matrixWorld in that frame and resets this property
to false. Default is *false*.
</p>
<h3>[property:Matrix4 modelViewMatrix]</h3>
<p>This is passed to the shader and used to calculate the position of the object.</p>
<h3>[property:String name]</h3>
<p>Optional name of the object (doesn't need to be unique). Default is an empty string.</p>
<h3>[property:Matrix3 normalMatrix]</h3>
<p>
This is passed to the shader and used to calculate lighting for the object. It is the transpose of the inverse of the upper left 3x3 sub-matrix of this object's modelViewMatrix.<br /><br />
The reason for this special matrix is that simply using the modelViewMatrix could result in a non-unit length of normals (on scaling) or in a non-perpendicular direction (on non-uniform scaling).<br /><br />
On the other hand the translation part of the modelViewMatrix is not relevant for the calculation of normals. Thus a Matrix3 is sufficient.
</p>
<h3>[property:Function onAfterRender]</h3>
<p>
An optional callback that is executed immediately after the Object3D is rendered.
This function is called with the following parameters: renderer, scene, camera, geometry,
material, group.
</p>
<h3>[property:Function onBeforeRender]</h3>
<p>
An optional callback that is executed immediately before the Object3D is rendered.
This function is called with the following parameters: renderer, scene, camera, geometry,
material, group.
</p>
<h3>[property:Object3D parent]</h3>
<p>Object's parent in the [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scene_graph scene graph]. An object can have at most
one parent.</p>
<h3>[property:Vector3 position]</h3>
<p>A [page:Vector3] representing the object's local position. Default is (0, 0, 0).</p>
<h3>[property:Quaternion quaternion]</h3>
<p>Object's local rotation as a [page:Quaternion Quaternion].</p>
<h3>[property:Boolean receiveShadow]</h3>
<p>Whether the material receives shadows. Default is *false*.</p>
<h3>[property:Number renderOrder]</h3>
<p>
This value allows the default rendering order of [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scene_graph scene graph]
objects to be overridden although opaque and transparent objects remain sorted independently. When this property
is set for an instance of [page:Group Group], all descendants objects will be sorted and rendered together.
Sorting is from lowest to highest renderOrder. Default value is *0*.
</p>
<h3>[property:Euler rotation]</h3>
<p>
Object's local rotation (see [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles Euler angles]), in radians.
</p>
<h3>[property:Vector3 scale]</h3>
<p>
The object's local scale. Default is [page:Vector3]( 1, 1, 1 ).
</p>
<h3>[property:Vector3 up]</h3>
<p>
This is used by the [page:.lookAt lookAt] method, for example, to determine the orientation of the result.<br />
Default is [page:Object3D.DefaultUp] - that is, ( 0, 1, 0 ).
</p>
<h3>[property:Object userData]</h3>
<p>
An object that can be used to store custom data about the Object3D. It should not hold
references to functions as these will not be cloned.
</p>
<h3>[property:String uuid]</h3>
<p>
[link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier UUID] of this object instance.
This gets automatically assigned, so this shouldn't be edited.
</p>
<h3>[property:Boolean visible]</h3>
<p>Object gets rendered if *true*. Default is *true*.</p>
<h2>Static Properties</h2>
<p>
Static properties and methods are defined per class rather than per instance of that class.
This means that changing [page:Object3D.DefaultUp] or [page:Object3D.DefaultMatrixAutoUpdate]
will change the values of [page:.up up] and [page:.matrixAutoUpdate matrixAutoUpdate] for
<em>every</em> instance of Object3D (or derived classes) created after the change has
been made (already created Object3Ds will not be affected).
</p>
<h3>[property:Vector3 DefaultUp]</h3>
<p>
The default [page:.up up] direction for objects, also used as the default position for [page:DirectionalLight],
[page:HemisphereLight] and [page:Spotlight] (which creates lights shining from the top down).<br />
Set to ( 0, 1, 0 ) by default.
</p>
<h3>[property:Boolean DefaultMatrixAutoUpdate]</h3>
<p>
The default setting for [page:.matrixAutoUpdate matrixAutoUpdate] for newly created Object3Ds.<br />
</p>
