Detailed Description

Objects hold renderable items (in particular meshes).

Each object has a number of meshes associated with it. Each mesh corresponds to a different detail level.

meshIndicesIndex points to numMeshes consecutive indices into the meshList and meshType vectors. It indexes the meshIndexList vector (meshIndexList is merely a clearinghouse for the object's mesh lists). Some indices may correspond to no mesh – which means no mesh will be drawn for the part for the given detail level. See comments on the meshIndexList for how null meshes are coded.

note:

Things are stored this way so that there are no pointers. This makes serialization to disk dramatically simpler.
