Hi Cory,
In my mind, I'm equating the "thing" with the thing's geometry. And so
if something is attached to the thing, I want the data structure to
mimic that.
I can understand where you're coming from, but I think keeping things
separate (at least conceptually) makes them more flexible. It's a matter
of opinion, of course, as most design decisions are. :-)
Think of the Transform node as being just a change in coordinate
systems. I tend to picture the graph upside down, or at least read it
going from the leaves to the root (instead of the opposite). The
geometry itself is modeled in its local coordinate system (that's just
the Geode), then it's transformed to place it where it should be
relative to some other thing (that's just the Transform). And so on.
Hope this helps,
J-S
