#include <renderer.h>
Class Description
This is the base class for a renderer implementation, which transforms a mesh into the opengl pipeline.
Every mesh has one or more renderers associated, which are responsible to render the mesh, or in other words, send the mesh data (vertex positions, texture coordinates, normals etc...) to opengl. These renderers are child objects of the mesh (since both the mesh and the renderer objects are inherited from TreeNode) They are used in different circumstances, for example mudbox uses one renderer for plain rendering, and another one for wireframe rendering. These renderer object can hold cached buffers in memory, to be able to render the mesh as fast as possible. The reason why mudbox keeps multiple renderers and not uses a single one to render the mesh in different modes is that this way the renderers can hold precalculated data in buffers. A naiv implementation of this interface would go through all the faces in the mesh, and pump the mesh data with immediate opengl calls to the hardware, but of course this solution would be slow for most of the objects.
