. 3-D transformations are non-commutative! This means it often makes a huge difference whether you first move a node and then rotate it around an axis, or first rotate the node around an axis and then move it. Make sure you code does what you mean to do.

. Are you intending to rotate around the object's origin along an axis, or around another pivot point outside the object? If you are trying to _rotate an object around a pivot point_, you have to create an (invisible) pivot node first, and attach the object to it. Then apply the rotation to the _parental pivot node_, not to the child object itself!

. Did you enter the angle in degrees (0 - 360°) or radians (0 - 2*PI)? A 3D engine expects radians, so make sure to convert your values! Formula: `g° = FastMath.PI * g / 180`

+You gain NOTHING by doing this, either. Just use new Quaternion().fromAngles() like a sane person.

This here is just about rotation, but there are three types of 3-D transformation: rotate, scale, and translate.
