// Description:
// The cgfxVector node is used to convert a vector in the scene to
// world coordinates. The inputs are a vector in local coordinates,
// a flag indicating whether the vector is a position or a direction,
// and a matrix that will transoform the vector to world coordinates.
// This matrix is generally the worldInverseMatrix of the vector.
