Orienting in 3D space

When you click on the 3D button at the top of the editor window, you will see the 3D project view:

The first thing you should notice is the three colored lines in the center. These are the x (red), y (green), and z (blue) axes. The point where they meet is the origin, with coordinates of (0, 0, 0).

Just as you used Vector2(x, y) to indicate a position in two-dimensional space, Vector3(x, y, z) describes a position in three dimensions along these three axes.

One issue that arises when working in 3D is that different applications use different conventions for orientation. Godot uses Y-Up orientation, so when looking at ...
