Renderable

This is the base class for all Renderable types. These objects are responsible for rendering the visuals for scene graph nodes in the 3D rendering. Different Renderable types create various kinds of visuals, sometimes based on external data files or resources (such as images, 3D models, color maps, or datasets).

A Renderable is created by adding it to a scene graph node in an asset. In general, this places the rendered object at the position of that scene graph node, unless otherwise specified by the specific Renderable type.

Each Renderable type typically also includes a number of settings to alter its appearance. See the documentation for the individual types for more details.
