I\'m trying to put an object in front of the camera, but have not been able to.
I\'m using the FlyControls what moves the camera, and I now want to put an object in fron
Have you tried making your object a child of your camera and then translating it forward?
camera.add(nanobot);
nanobot.position.set(0,0,-100);
The above places the nanobot permanently 100 units in front of the camera... and that's where it will stay until you do:
camera.remove(nanobot);
...at which point it should just stay where it is in global space until you move it using some other method.
