Camera, light(s) and objects all use the same coordinates.
Translations are deltas between the original location and the desired location.
Rotations are around the origin <0,0,0> and expressed in degrees around the 3 axis.
Positive been 
anti-clockwise when looking toward the positive direction of the corresponding axis
(lefthanded 
system, just like my maths profs taught me)
+X = right
+Y = UP
+Z = AWAY
