NodeReference Class
A reference node is a node exported from Unigine engine into an external file with a .node extension, which stores all node-related information. Reference nodes automatically load the material library in which their material is stored. Unlike regular nodes, reference node are loaded into the world faster because of the internal cache usage.
Notice
A bounding box of the reference node is equal to the bounding box of its root node (child nodes are disregarded).
