CubeCreator tutorial program

This tutorial program shows how to add textures, materials, and animation to meshes representing a model (in this case, a cube). Operations include:

High level operations	Low level operations
Constructing the baseline scene	Defining the animation stack and animation layer that will contain the animation. Creating a marker to be used as a reference point. Creating a camera. Creating one texture available to all cubes. Embedding media files in an FBX file. Processing FBX files that contain embedded media. Processing scene files with references to media. Creating an array of materials to be shared. Pointing the camera at the marker. Setting the position of the marker. Setting the position of the camera.
Adding animation to the camera	Constructing the initial scene graph. Setting a camera as the scene’s default camera. Adding a cube to the scene. Setting the cube’s name, position, and rotation. Applying the user’s specifications to the cube. Setting the cube’s position in the scene. Creating a mesh for the cube. Defining the cube’s vertices and the normals. Defining the cube’s faces. Using layer 0 to store a normal to each face. Creating a layer element for the materials and textures. Saving memory by sharing a mesh among multiple nodes. Adding animation to a cube. Adding a texture to a cube.
Adding a material to a cube	No lower-level operations.
