The shell component is the base object of the arcticPigs viewer. It is this object the browser creates. However there is almost no functionality within this object. You can access other components from this object however. You can always access the following set of objects from the shell component; the arcticDocument, the arcticWindow and the arcticWorld.

The arcticShell object is however the object that handles all the events generated by the 3D viewer. There is a set of events that get fired on initialisation and you should use these events to do the initialisation of your scene.
