+ * A render object is the renderer's representation of single entity that gets drawn
+ * with a draw command. There is no unique mapping of render objects to 3D objects in the
+ * scene since render objects also depend from the used material, the current render context
+ * and the current scene's lighting.
+ *
+ * In general, the basic process of the renderer is:
+ *
+ * - Analyze the 3D objects in the scene and generate render lists containing render items.
+ * - Process the render lists by calling one or more render commands for each render item.
+ * - For each render command, request a render object and perform the draw.
+ *
+ * The module provides an interface to get data required for the draw command like the actual
+ * draw parameters or vertex buffers. It also holds a series of caching related methods since
+ * creating render objects should only be done when necessary.
