Hello guys! I noticed that we can set the children and the parent property of a Mesh to another Mesh and of a NodeTransform. However, I don’t find this property on the Sprite. It would be great for sprites to be part of other entities… Is that a design choice or am I simply forgetting something?

Thanks! 🙂

This is not possible because the `Sprite` class does not subclass the `Node` class, as `AbstractMesh` (`Mesh`) and `TransformNode` do. I think this is a design choice (the `Sprite` class has always been like this).
