Vector3
=======

Vector used for 3D math.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

3-element structure that can be used to represent positions in 3D space or any other triplet of numeric values.

\ **Note:** In a boolean context, a Vector3 will evaluate to ``false`` if it's equal to ``Vector3(0, 0, 0)``. Otherwise, a Vector3 will always evaluate to ``true``.

Returns the cross product of this vector and ``b``.

This returns a vector perpendicular to both this and ``b``, which would be the normal vector of the plane defined by the two vectors. As there are two such vectors, in opposite directions, this method returns the vector defined by a right-handed coordinate system. If the two vectors are parallel this returns an empty vector, making it useful for testing if two vectors are parallel.
