// This class implements a basic SceneObject that can exist in the world at a
// 3D position and render itself. There are several valid ways to render an
// object in Torque. This class makes use of the "TS" (three space) shape
// system. TS manages loading the various mesh formats supported by Torque as
// well was rendering those meshes (including LOD and animation...though this
// example doesn't include any animation over time).

   // Object Rendering
   // Torque utilizes a "batch" rendering system. This means that it builds a
   // list of objects that need to render (via RenderInst's) and then renders
   // them all in one batch. This allows it to optimized on things like
   // minimizing texture, state, and shader switching by grouping objects that
   // use the same Materials.

   // This is the function that allows this object to submit itself for rendering
