36    /** Utility class which defines the sub-parts of an Entity.
37        @remarks
38            Just as meshes are split into submeshes, an Entity is made up of
39            potentially multiple SubMeshes. These are mainly here to provide the
40            link between the Material which the SubEntity uses (which may be the
41            default Material for the SubMesh or may have been changed for this
42            object) and the SubMesh data.
43        @par
44            The SubEntity also allows the application some flexibility in the
45            material properties for this section of a particular instance of this
46            Mesh, e.g. tinting the windows on a car model.
47        @par
48            SubEntity instances are never created manually. They are created at
49            the same time as their parent Entity by the SceneManager method
50            createEntity.
