Improve visual look of the highlight

Improve the visual look of the highlight with a colortrans (color transformation) node: https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/scenejs/2RMt-TKVbPg

Or alternatively used proposed change to materials: https://github.com/xeolabs/scenejs/issues/131

For now, you could try a nice yellow like in the Human:

SceneJS.scene("my-scene").findNode("my-colortrans").set({

            /* Saturation [-1.0 - 1.0] - negative value to desaturate
             */
            saturation: 0.0,

            /* Color addition/subtraction - negative value to subtract
             */
            add :{
                r: 0.35,
                g: 0.35,
                b: 0.0,
                a: 0.0
            },

            /* Color scaling
             */
            scale: {
                r: 1.0,
                g: 1.0,
                b: 1.0,
                a: 1.0
            }
});

Thanks :D Do you think I have too much blue in the app? I still need work on my palette a bit ;)

Just a note that I'm about to remove the colortrans node and replace it with a custom shader - the effect will be the same, and you can always rewrite that shader to suit.

[rehno-lindeque]

Thanks, so you're saying I should just create my own custom "highlight" shader right?

[xeolabs]

I've just created a custom shader example that replicates the exact effect of the colortrans node (cut and pasted from that), so you should be able to use that..I'm just about to switch Human over to use it as well.

Cool, that's great

Also need to highlight objects that are composed of many objects (should be a similar fix to issue #32)
