40	/** Defines an instance of a discrete, movable object based on a Mesh.
41	@remarks
42	Ogre generally divides renderable objects into 2 groups, discrete
43	(separate) and relatively small objects which move around the world,
44	and large, sprawling geometry which makes up generally immovable
45	scenery, aka 'level geometry'.
46	@par
47	The Mesh and SubMesh classes deal with the definition of the geometry
48	used by discrete movable objects. Entities are actual instances of
49	objects based on this geometry in the world. Therefore there is
50	usually a single set Mesh for a car, but there may be multiple
51	entities based on it in the world. Entities are able to override
52	aspects of the Mesh it is defined by, such as changing material
53	properties per instance (so you can have many cars using the same
54	geometry but different textures for example). Because a Mesh is split
55	into SubMeshes for this purpose, the Entity class is a grouping class
56	(much like the Mesh class) and much of the detail regarding
57	individual changes is kept in the SubEntity class. There is a 1:1
58	relationship between SubEntity instances and the SubMesh instances
59	associated with the Mesh the Entity is based on.
60	@par
61	Entity and SubEntity classes are never created directly. Use the
62	createEntity method of the SceneManager (passing a model name) to
63	create one.
64	@par
65	Entities are included in the scene by associating them with a
66	SceneNode, using the attachEntity method. See the SceneNode class
67	for full information.
68	@note
69	No functions were declared virtual to improve performance.
