For example, translating a character -3.0 along the z-axis, will move the character out from the screen. Here is an example:

myAstronaut->translateTo(0.0, 0.0, -3.0);
Result of translation

For example, rotating a character 40 degrees about the y-axis, will rotate the character clockwise:

myAstronaut->rotateTo(0.0, 40.0, 0.0);
