    Example showing how to combine a Polygonjs scene with a Threejs scene

    Ah, you're probably right. In that case, while I unfortunately don't have a PR from a client project as those are not public, I can still share a commit from one of the example projects I use to demonstrate what Polygonjs can do: https://github.com/polygonjs/polygonjs-threejs-example/commit/9db6551d49e7b0838825fb27e7290bece8c8c360.
