CameraCreate
The CameraCreate node is used to create a scene graph containing a camera. CameraCreate does not load the camera from any file or asset but instead builds an entirely new camera from the parameters you specify on this node.
Note: LightCreate and CameraCreate are identical, except for the type of scene graph locations they create, and the population of the lightList vs. cameraList.
Tip: To lock a camera's position after it's created, set claimExclusivity on the CameraCreate to No.
