Pivot

There is an easy way to control rotation of the required node group in the scene: a pivot node creates a new pivot point for all its children nodes. It has very light performance weight and shares all common options that other nodes have. Each node contains two matrices: one sets the basis of rotation, another one describes local transformations for children nodes.
