Model displayed in the control can have other objects mounted onto it, and the light settings can be adjusted.

Example:
   new GuiObjectView(ObjectPreview)
   {
      shapeFile = "art/shapes/items/kit/healthkit.dts";
      mountedNode = "mount0";
      lightColor = "1 1 1 1";
      lightAmbient = "0.5 0.5 0.5 1";
      lightDirection = "0 0.707 -0.707";
      orbitDiststance = "2";
      minOrbitDiststance = "0.917688";
      maxOrbitDiststance = "5";
      cameraSpeed = "0.01";
      cameraZRot = "0";
      forceFOV = "0";
